1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Texas licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
