We are at a point in the year when many Credit Access Business owners who offer payday, installment, or title loans to Texas consumers increase their marketing and advertising efforts in hopes of serving those needing an extra financial cushion to get through the Holidays.  It is important that readers know there are some restrictions around off-site advertising.

Per Texas Finance Code Chapter 393, a Credit Access Business may not advertise on the premises of a nursing facility, assisted living facility, group home, or intermediate care facility for persons with mental retardation, or other similar facility subject by regulation of the Aging & Disability Services.

It is my opinion that many of our clients and members would not intentionally advertise or market to these consumer groups.  But, we should all be aware that employees who are out and about hanging door hangers, passing out flyers, etc may not think about it while they are on the premises of such facilities.  So, just head’s up and let’s all make sure we are thinking a few layers deep while we are working through a high demand higher action period of our business cycle.
