At a Glance
Effective baseline: Chapter 398 (Commercial Sales-Based Financing) is effective September 1, 2025. 2026 is the “implementation year” where policies, registrations, and workflows matter most. Read Chapter 398.
What Texas requires (high level)
- Disclosures for covered commercial sales-based financing offers/transactions.
- Registration requirements for providers and brokers (with transitional timing for existing businesses).
- Recordkeeping + compliance controls to support examinations and enforcement risk reduction.
Coverage and exemptions depend on statutory definitions and the structure of the product.
Not legal advice. This is an operational overview for marketing/sales and workflow planning. Counsel should confirm applicability for your product, channels, and thresholds.
1 | Who’s Covered in Texas
Texas Chapter 398 is built around commercial sales-based financing—transactions generally repaid as a percentage of sales/revenue (or via a fixed payment mechanism with reconciliation tied to sales/revenue). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Providers
- Entities that offer or provide covered sales-based financing to Texas recipients.
- Need disclosure readiness + registration planning (especially if operating on/after the effective date).
Brokers / ISOs
- Parties that obtain or present offers for compensation may fall into broker obligations.
- Texas adds registration concepts and transitional compliance timelines. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Practical takeaway: In Texas, treat “(1) correct disclosure package” and “(2) registration status” as pre-funding checklist items.
2 | Texas Disclosure Requirements (Plain English)
Texas requires disclosures for covered commercial sales-based financing transactions under Chapter 398. Exact required fields and timing are governed by the statute and forthcoming/related rulemaking guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
What your team should be able to disclose
- Key economic terms (amount provided, total repayment, total cost)
- Payment mechanics (percentage-based or fixed with reconciliation)
- Any fees/charges and how they are assessed
- Material conditions that impact repayment or reconciliation
Operational best practices
- One template per product type with version control
- Disclosure delivery + acknowledgement captured before finalization
- ISO training + deal gating (“no disclosure, no sign, no fund”)
Tip: If you use reconciliation mechanics, your disclosure and your contract language must be consistent—sales teams can’t improvise.
3 | Registration Timeline (Texas)
Texas Chapter 398 includes registration requirements and implementation timing, including special timelines for businesses already operating as of the effective date. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
What to track internally
- Provider vs. broker/ISO role classification
- Registration status (planned/submitted/active)
- Any fee, renewal, or reporting cadence as implemented
- Where your disclosures live + who can edit them (controls)
Where to confirm details
Practical takeaway: Texas is a “process state.” If your compliance ops aren’t built into the workflow, it will show in audits, disputes, and partner diligence.
