3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Texas licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
