Cash-Out Refinance in Texas:
Unlock Your Home's Equity

Lone Star Financing specializes in Texas cash-out refinancing, helping homeowners turn built-up equity into greater financial flexibility. Our experienced team provides clear guidance and a streamlined process designed to keep your refinance moving efficiently from start to finish.

A Texas cash-out can help you:
  • Consolidate high-interest debt, such as credit cards or personal loans, into a single mortgage payment

  • 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.

Cash-Out Refinance Guidelines

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.

Texas Cash-Out Refinance Guidelines

Limited Closing Costs

Lender closing costs cannot exceed 2% of your loan amount, excluding third-party fees like attorney, appraisal, and title insurance.

80% Max LTV

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.

Pay Off Existing Liens

If you already home equity line of credit (HELOC) or home equity loan, your new cash-out refinance will have to pay off these loans first.

12-Month Waiting Period

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.

7-Month Post-Foreclosure Rule

Borrowers must wait seven years after foreclosure, bankruptcy, or short sale before qualifying for a cash-out refinance.

Primary Residence Only

Texas cash-out refinance loans apply only to your primary home — not investment or second properties.
