2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Check the Texas regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
