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.

    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.

  • Jeb Hensarling
    Jeb Hensarling Jeb Hensarling recently completed an eight-term career in the U.S. Congress including three terms as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, one of congress’ most important committees, with jurisdiction over a broad swath of the nation’s economy including banking, securities, insurance, housing and monetary policy. As chairman, The Los Angeles Times said Hensarling was “a pivotal player in the GOP effort to reduce financial regulation in the Trump era” and the Wall Street Journal referred to him as “[the driver] of economic policy in the House.” Hensarling shepherded over 80 bills into law including the Economy Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act, widely recognized as the most pro-growth banking bill in a generation, as well as the JOBS 2.0 legislation which helps startups and early growth companies access capital. Called a “major figure in the Republican Party,” Hensarling was chosen by his colleagues to serve in key leadership positions throughout his congressional career. He was elected House Republican Conference Chairman in the 112th Congress, the 4th highest ranking position in the Republican Leadership, where he was responsible for helping coordinate strategy, policy, messaging and communications for House Republicans. In the 110th Congress he led the Republican Study Committee, Congress’ largest caucus and the one dedicated to advancing conservative free market principles. His leadership in these positions caused the National Journal to write, “Hensarling is as politically savvy as they come.” In recognition of his economic policy expertise, Hensarling was appointed to serve on the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP, our nation’s response to the 2009 financial crisis, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and as the Co-chair of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.

    2009 Baylor University Poage-Mayborn Washington Internship Program Dr. James A. Curry, Director The 2009 Poage-Mayborn Washington Seminar convened in Washington, D.C., on June 18-19, 2009. This annual two-day seminar is named for longtime Central Texas Congressman W.R. (Bob) Poage and for civic leader and publisher Mr. Frank W. Mayborn. The event is supported and made possible by Mrs. Sue Mayborn, President of the Mayborn Foundation of Temple, Texas, and by Baylor University. The seminar is the cornerstone of the Baylor University Washington Internship Program, which offers students the opportunity to earn academic credit for an internship. Students work in various offices and agencies in Washington, D.C., including Capitol Hill, the White House, executive agencies, consulting firms, non-profit organizations, and others. The 2009 seminar focused on the wide variety of oppor-tunities available in Washington, with emphasis on legislative, executive, and private sector venues. The 2009 Poage-Mayborn Seminar set an all-time record for Baylor University interns. Twenty-six current Baylor students will intern in Washington, D.C. this summer, and most attended the seminar. The 2009 Baylor University students and their place of internship are: Baronet, Ashley (Atlantic Video) Blackburn, Stephanie (Rep.
