First of all in Texas Home Equity loans and refi's of homesteaded property must be signed in a title company or attorney's office, which as you are a paralegal probably won't be a problem for you.

Read message 33325 for lots of useful info.

The laws are pretty much the same as they were when your last commission expired.

There are some assoc.'s that will charge an all inclusive fee to submit your appl. for commission that will include your bond/insurance.... and throw in a handbook and stamp.

Check out the "home" page on this site.

Good Luck!
