Announcement: New State-Specific Supplemental Form Requirement for Texas Mortgage Call Reports
Beginning Q1 2026, residential mortgage loan companies and mortgage bankers licensed or registered in Texas that employ independent loan processors and underwriters must comply with a new reporting requirement under 7 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §§ 56.205 (applicable to mortgage companies) and 57.205 (applicable to mortgage bankers).
Who is affected?
This requirement applies to both mortgage companies (including independent contractor loan processor and underwriter companies) and mortgage bankers that have indicated (or should indicate) in NMLS that they are engaged in either of the following business activities:
- Third-party mortgage loan processing
- Third-party mortgage underwriting
What is Changing?
As part of the Mortgage Call Report (MCR) submission process via the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), mortgage companies and mortgage bankers must complete the “Licensed Processors and Underwriters” portion of the State-Specific Supplemental Form (SSSF).
What is required?
- The SSSF was introduced as a supplemental component of the MCR, beginning with Form Version 6 (FV6) in April 2024, and continues in Form Version 7 (FV7), slated for release in April 2026.
- The SSSF collects state-specific data not provided as part of the general MCR.
- Licensees/registrants must complete the Licensed Processors and Underwriters section of the SSSF, which includes SF 600 to SF 660 shown below.
| Licensed Processors and Underwriters | ||
| Enter the type of action taken on applications during the period. Data Format: Amount ($ US Dollars) – Positive dollar amount to the nearest dollar. Do not enter $, commas or decimals. Count (#) – Positive whole number. Do not enter any symbols. |

| SF630 | Net Changes in Application Amount | Any changes to the loan amount that occurred while the loan was assigned to you by a third-party entity for processing or underwriting. This entry must be expressed as a positive or negative adjustment. This line only allows changes to the application amount. |
