RULE §90.203Model Clauses

    (A) The model clause stating the secured nature of the agreement reads: "To secure this loan, I give you a security interest in the collateral. The collateral includes the property listed below, improvements and attachments to the property, insurance refunds, and proceeds."

    (B) Prohibition on transfer and collateral free of encumbrance. The model agreement keeping the collateral free from encumbrance and against transferring it reads: "I own the collateral. I won't sell or transfer it without your written permission. I won't allow anyone else to have an interest in the collateral except you."

    (C) Location and restrictions on movement or relocation of collateral. The model agreement regarding the location of the collateral reads: "I will keep the collateral at my address shown above. I will promptly tell you in writing if I change my address. I won't permanently remove the collateral from Texas unless you give me written permission."

    (D) Upkeep and use of collateral. The model agreement regarding the upkeep and use of the collateral reads: "I will timely pay all taxes and license fees on the collateral. I will keep it in good repair. I won't use the collateral illegally."

    (E) Modifications in writing. The model agreement regarding changes made to the security agreement reads: "Any change to this security agreement has to be in writing. Both you and I have to sign it."

    (F) Any default is a default of the security agreement. The model agreement in the security agreement regarding defaults reads: "Any default under my agreements with you will be a default of this security agreement."

    (G) Default clause. The model clause setting out the security agreement in case of default reads: "If there is a default, you can take the collateral. You will only do this lawfully and without a breach of the peace. If you take my collateral, you will tell me how much I have to pay to get it back. If I don't pay you to get the collateral back, you can sell it or take other action allowed by law. You will send me notice at least 10 days before you sell it. My right to get the collateral back ends when you sell it. You can use the money you get from selling it to pay amounts the law allows and to reduce the amount I owe. If any money is left, you will pay it to me. If the money from the sale is not enough to pay all I owe, I must pay the rest of what I owe you plus interest."

  (28) Credit reporting. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681s-2(a)(7), generally requires a creditor to provide a notice to a consumer before furnishing negative information to a credit bureau. The model clause for credit reporting reads: "You may report information about my account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on my account may be reflected in my credit report."
