RULE §2.104Application and Renewal Fees

(a) Required submission to NMLS. To become an RMLO, an OCCC applicant must submit the required fees to NMLS. A fee is required to be submitted at the time of application and at the time of renewal. All fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable. However, upon review of individual circumstances, the OCCC may refund or transfer the state fees.

(b) Fingerprint processing fees. Fingerprint processing fees must also be paid in the amount necessary to recover the costs of investigating the OCCC applicant's fingerprint record (amount required by third party).

(c) OCCC application and renewal fees. The Finance Commission of Texas sets the RMLO application fee at an amount not to exceed $200 and the RMLO annual renewal fee not to exceed $200 for applications filed with the OCCC. Annual renewal fees are due to NMLS by December 31 of each year. A third party operates NMLS and that third-party operator sets the amount of the required system fees. Applicants and RMLOs must pay all required application and renewal fees, fingerprint processing fees, and any additional amounts required by the third-party operator.

(d) OCCC reinstatement period and fee. The Finance Commission of Texas sets the RMLO reinstatement fee at $50 for applications filed with the OCCC. The reinstatement period for OCCC applicants runs from January 1 through the last day of February each year.
