Access equity for meaningful expenses, including home improvements, education costs, or major life events
Create financial flexibility, using your home’s value to support long-term goals
While a cash-out refinance can be a powerful financial tool, it’s important to use home equity thoughtfully. Because the funds are repaid over time as part of your mortgage, cash-out refinancing is often best suited for longer-term needs rather than short-term spending.
Texas cash-out refinance guidelines differ from other states, but qualifying is more straightforward than it once was. Homeowners with sufficient equity and solid credit may be able to refinance and access cash from their home’s value. With rising equity across Texas, many homeowners now meet these requirements. Lone Star Financing provides clear guidance and an efficient, in-house process to help you determine whether a cash-out refinance makes sense for your goals.
Lender closing costs cannot exceed 2% of your loan amount, excluding third-party fees like attorney, appraisal, and title insurance.
Our new loan cannot exceed 80% of your home’s value, leaving 20% equity untouched. For a $400,000 home, you can borrow up to $320,000.
In Texas, you’re eligible for a cash-out refinance on your primary home after 12 months, or 6 months for investment properties. You must also wait 12 months between refinances.

We could not be happier with our experience working with Lone Star – Texas Mortgage Lender, Brett Dempsey, and his team. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process, but Brett and his staff guided us every step of the way with patience, friendliness, and clear communication. They moved swiftly to secure everything we needed, kept us updated at each stage, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The rates they secured for us were excellent, the service was absolutely top-notch, and the team’s professionalism gave us complete confidence from start to finish. On top of that, Brett and his team were genuinely friendly and approachable, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. We are grateful for their dedication and couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re looking for a lender that combines expertise, efficiency, and personal service, Brett Dempsey and his team at Lone Star are the perfect choice. -The Carter FamilyPosted on Kevin MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Chris Lederer for well over a decade. He's always made the loan process seamless and goes the extra mile for his clients. His approach, service, and dedication to his clients makes you feel like you've known him your entire life. He's been able to coach myself and other people I know through the loan process and also help them with credit advice or referrals to fix credit for people that don't instantly qualify. I highly recommend working with Chris; you won't be sorry.Posted on Mandy DicktenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t ever writes reviews, but working with James honestly made the homebuying process way easier than I expected. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and somehow kept things calm even when the stress hit. I never felt lost or in the dark — and that’s saying a lot. What stood out most was how real he is. No fluff, no pressure, just straight-up support from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who actually listens and doesn’t treat you like a number, James is the one to go to. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about buying a home — especially if you want someone in your corner who actually cares.Posted on Gary LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you James your a rock starPosted on Josie SolisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time. Long story short—Brett Dempsey was AWESOME. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Brett was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent—always prompt, clear, and patient, which made a huge difference for me. After a terrible experience with another lender at New American Funding, Brett turned everything around. He not only got us into our home, but also saved us a lot of money. He and his team truly exceeded our expectations. We’re so thankful!Posted on TommyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shawn D. and the team at Lone Star Financing are the best mortgage professionals you could ask for. Shawn was able to help us get a mortgage when no other lenders could, due to our unique circumstances. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and has the highest integrity. He didn't just help us get a house he re united my family. Thank you for all your hard work Shawn.
