I phoned my lender and was told that Texas does not allow refinance or any action affecting a mortgage (I assume a payoff would be excepted in any case) until at least one year has passed since the mortgage was executed. So far, I've not been able to find any such restriction in the Texas code, but thought I could be missing something.

Hi tomwalker!

Welcome to forums!

According to Texas A6 laws, you cannot refinance a mortgage before 12 months. After your current mortgage is one year old, you can look for a refinancing. To know more about Texas A6 laws, check out the following link:

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

You can obtain a cash out refinance in Texas 6 months after purchasing a property. If you have previously obtained a Texas Cash Out refinance, you can not obtain another Texas Cash Out refinance until 12 months have passed. By Texas law, you can obtain a Texas Cash Out refinance once every 12 calendar months.
