The chart shows Lower's historical posted mortgage rates for Texas, sampled weekly on Mondays. Data effective through 2026-10-09. The chart displays historical note rates only. It does not display APR, discount points, fees, or other costs that affect total loan expense. For current rates with APR, points, and assumptions, see the rate table above. Historical rates are not predictive of current or future rates. This chart is not an offer of credit, a commitment to lend, or a Loan Estimate. Actual rates depend on credit profile, market conditions, loan amount, loan-to-value, occupancy, property type, and other factors, and can change daily. FHA loans require mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) not reflected in note rates shown. VA loans require a VA funding fee not reflected in note rates shown. Jumbo loans exceed conforming loan limits and carry different underwriting requirements.
What Affects Mortgage Rates in Texas
Texas mortgage pricing follows national lending markets rather than rates set by state borders. Your credit profile, loan structure, property details and other application factors can affect the pricing offered to you.
A mortgage quote for a home in Dallas can differ from one for a property in rural Texas when the borrower, property or loan details change.
When comparing lenders for a home purchase, look at both the interest rate and the annual percentage rate, or APR. The interest rate is the percentage charged for borrowing the principal. APR is a broader annualized measure that includes the interest rate plus certain loan costs.
Comparing both can help you spot differences between offers with similar interest rates but different qualifying costs.
If you’re considering replacing an existing Texas mortgage, compare Texas refinance rates with your current loan terms.
Types of Mortgages Available in Texas
Texans buying a home can choose among several mortgage structures.
-
A conventional fixed-rate mortgage keeps the same interest rate for the full loan term. Your credit profile, down payment, property and other application details affect the terms available to you.
-
FHA loans in Texas follow separate borrower and property requirements. FHA loan limits are set separately from conforming limits and are published county by county.
-
Eligible borrowers can compare Texas VA loan rates. VA financing follows its own borrower and property requirements.
-
USDA loans combine borrower qualification with property eligibility and may apply when you are buying in an eligible rural part of Texas.
-
An adjustable-rate mortgage can change after its initial rate period according to the loan terms. Review the adjustment schedule and how later rate changes could affect your payment.
-
A jumbo loan finances an amount above the applicable conforming limit. Texas uses one statewide one-unit threshold for 2026, which is covered in the next section.
Buyers entering the market for the first time can compare first-time homebuyer loan options in Texas.
Mortgage insurance treatment depends on the loan program, so include mortgage insurance requirements by loan type when estimating the full payment.
2026 Conforming and Jumbo Loan Limits in Texas
All 254 counties in Texas use the same $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit for 2026. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA, sets conforming loan limits annually.
A one-unit mortgage above $832,750 falls into the jumbo category anywhere in Texas. The threshold applies to the amount borrowed rather than the home's purchase price, so a higher-priced home can still use conforming financing when the mortgage itself remains within the limit.
Buyers borrowing above $832,750 can compare Texas jumbo loan rates. Because the same one-unit limit applies across all 254 counties, there is no separate county conforming table to check.
These are 2026 limits for one-unit properties. Limits for two-, three- and four-unit properties are higher. The FHFA publishes annual conforming loan limit values by local area and property size.
FHA financing uses a separate limit system. FHA loan limits in Texas are set separately from conforming limits and are published county by county. The VA does not impose a loan limit for eligible borrowers with full entitlement. Lenders may still apply their own underwriting and loan-size requirements, and Texas VA loan rates are published separately.
Texas Mortgage Payment Examples By Rate
Texas's payment examples extend to an $800,000 mortgage, which remains below the statewide $832,750 one-unit conforming limit for 2026. The table shows principal-and-interest payments across the supplied loan amounts and rates. Use the Texas mortgage payment calculator to test a different loan amount or other mortgage details.
| Loan Amount | 5.50% | 5.75% | 6.00% | 6.25% | 6.50% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $800,000 | $4,542 | $4,669 | $4,796 | $4,926 | $5,057 |
| $700,000 | $3,975 | $4,085 | $4,197 | $4,310 | $4,424 |
| $600,000 | $3,407 | $3,501 | $3,597 | $3,694 | $3,792 |
| $500,000 | $2,839 | $2,918 | $2,998 | $3,079 | $3,160 |
| $400,000 | $2,271 | $2,334 | $2,398 | $2,463 | $2,528 |
| $300,000 | $1,703 | $1,751 | $1,799 | $1,847 | $1,896 |
The figures cover principal and interest only. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, association fees and other costs are not included.
Texas Mortgage FAQs
Are there homebuyer assistance programs in Texas?
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs provides information about available homebuyer programs, eligibility and application requirements.
What is the conforming loan limit in Texas for 2026?
Every county in Texas uses a 2026 one-unit conforming loan limit of $832,750. A one-unit mortgage above $832,750 falls into the jumbo category statewide.
How can I get a lower mortgage rate?
Your credit profile, debt load and down payment can affect the pricing offered to you. Compare mortgage offers using APR as well as the interest rate. Temporary rate buydowns and seller concessions can also affect the cost or payment structure of a transaction. Compare the complete terms of the offers you receive.
What's the 2% rule in Texas?
Texas caps lender-controlled fees on home equity loans and cash-out refinances at 2% of the loan's principal amount, although the law provides for certain exceptions. Those include third-party appraisals, land surveys, title insurance premiums, and title examination fees (but only to the extent those examination fees do not exceed the lender’s base title insurance premium) as well as discount points. Whether a specific fee counts toward the 2% cap depends on how it is classified and charged. Lenders are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable Texas regulations.
How will property taxes and insurance in Texas
affect my mortgage payment?
Property taxes and homeowners insurance are usually collected monthly when your mortgage uses an escrow account. The lender holds those amounts until the bills are due, so the full monthly payment exceeds principal and interest alone. Review escrow requirements by loan type and property taxes by state and county when estimating these costs.
