| (a) Generally. Plain language contracts must be printed
in an easily readable font and type size pursuant to Texas Finance
Code, §341.502(a). If other state or federal law requires a different
type size for a specific disclosure or contractual provision, the
type size specified by the other law should be used.
(b) Typeface readability. The text of the document
must be set in an easily readable typeface. Typefaces considered to
be readable include Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Helvetica, Times New
Roman, and Verdana.
(c) Titles and headings. Titles, headings, subheadings,
numbering, captions, and illustrative or explanatory tables or sidebars
may be used to distinguish between different levels of information
or to provide emphasis.
(d) Typeface size. Typeface size is referred to in
points. Because different typefaces in the same point size are not
of equal size, typeface is not strictly defined but is expressed as
a minimum size in the Times New Roman typeface for visual comparative
purposes. Use of a larger typeface is encouraged. The typeface for
the federal disclosure box or other disclosures required under federal
law must be legible, but no minimum typeface is required. Generally,
the typeface for the remainder of the contract must be at least as
large as 8 point in the Times New Roman typeface. A point is generally
viewed as 1/72nd of an inch.
