We would like to owner-finance a property on which we have a mortgage. The document says that if we enter into an installment agreement with someone with intent to transfer the title without the mortgage company's written consent then the mortgage company can demand full payment for the mortgage. There is a disclaimer about only being able to invoke this within the law. Does the law in Texas allow for immediate demand if we owner-finance and transfer the title?

Hi jenierman,

If such a clause is mentioned in the agreement, then you will have to follow it. The lender can demand the full payment of the mortgage if the title of the property is transferred to someone else without the lender's permission. You can inform the lender about owner financing and check if he gives you a written consent.
