Last week, a delegation of TLTA members and past presidents led by President Dawn Moore, visited Washington, D.C. as part of the American Land Title Association Federal Affairs Conference. Over the course of a day and a half, the group held sixteen different face-to-face meetings with members and staff of the U.S. Congress to discuss the CFPB and their TRID implementation set to begin August 1, 2015. The group met personally with Senator John Cornyn and Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Jeb Hensarling (R-Dallas), as well as, Pete Sessions (R-Dallas); Bill Flores (R-Waco); Marc Veasey (D-Ft. Worth); Ruben Hinojosa (D-Beeville); Roger Williams (R- Austin); Kenny Marchant (RIrving); Pete Olson (R-Sugar Land); and, two new freshman Members from Texas, John Ratcliffe (RRockwall) and Dr. Brian Babin (R-Woodville). In addition, they met with staff of Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R- Lubbock), Al Green (D-Houston); Mike Conaway (R-Midland) and freshman Will Hurd (R-San Antonio). The group specifically asked the elected officials to considering supporting a move to get CFPB to institute a “hold harmless” or “restrained enforcement” period for the first five months the TRID rule is in effect. There is legislation in Congress, HR 2213, to require CFPB to not enforce good faith mistakes on the new disclosures until after December 31, 2015.

  • Quotes About the Speech
    Quotes about the Speech When his campaign was in peril because of his ties to Rev. Wright, Barack Obama made that remarkable speech about race and his own journey, and his relationship with Wright in Philadelphia. That held his campaign together; a very key moment. ~George Stephanopoulos, ABC News [The] best speech ever given on race in this country. This is the kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see before they go out in the world. This should be, to me, an American tract. ~Chris Matthews, MSNBC Obama challenged Americans to confront the country’s racial divide…an extraordinary speech. ~Charles Gibson, ABC News Quietly, but clearly with great passion, he walked the listener through a remarkable exploration of race from both sides of the color divide, both sides of himself. ~ Campbell Brown, CNN [T]the best speech and most important speech on race that we have heard as a nation since Martin Luther King's ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. ~Michelle Bernard, MSNBC Barack Obama didn't simply touch the touchiest subject in America, he grabbed it and turned it over and examined it from several different angles and made it personal. Just steps from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, he rang the bell hard and well. ~Jonathan Alter, Newsweek In a speech whose frankness about race many historians said could be likened only to speeches by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, Senator Barack Obama, speaking across the street from where the Constitution was written, traced the country’s race problem back to not simply the country’s ‘original sin of slavery’ but the protections for it embedded in the Constitution.

    Austin Bank October 3, 2012 Federal Reserve Board RE: Basel III Docket No. 1442 Ladies and Gentlemen: I am writing to oppose the new proposed Basel III standards. I am also asking that community banks be exempt. Frankly, the whole proposal should be examined for the unintended consequences. I feel the Basel III Proposal will cause an artificial credit crunch in our area and around the country, here is why: In Cherokee County, where we are domiciled, the average home purchased/for sale is $120,000. Right now, our bank could potentially make $1 billion in 1-4 multi-family mortgage loans with existing risk weights. Let's take a look at the impact: If the risk rating = 50%, $1 billion ÷ $120,000 = 8,333 loans made If the risk rating = 100%, $1 billion ÷ $120,000 = 4,167 loans - a reduction of 4,166 loans And if, the rating = 200%, as proposed, $1 billion ÷ 2,083 loans! - a reduction of 6.250 loans Our banks will lose the ability to make loans and our capital would be drastically reduced. With Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae out of the equation, this will further lead to a "rationing of loans" I am asking you to delay or suspend the new rules associated with the Basel III Proposal. Our industry depends on your support - so do the millions of consumers across the country. Please do not hamper community banks from doing what they do best - making loans in their communities. Respectfully.signed. Jeff Austin, III Vice Chairman CC: Eric Sandberg, Texas Bankers Association Frank Keating, American Bankers Association Congressman Jeb Hensarling Congressman Louie Gohmert Congressman Randy Neugebauer Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Senator John Cornyn 200 E.
