1.         Notwithstanding the specific provisions of paragraph 5 of the Exclusions from Coverage relating to consumer credit protection laws and the provisions of the Equity Loan Mortgage Endorsement (T-42), the Company insures the insured against loss, if any, sustained by the insured under the terms of the policy because of invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the insured mortgage pursuant to Section 50(a)(6), Article XVI, Texas Constitution, arising solely by reason of one or more of the following:

(a)        The insured mortgage and promissory note secured thereby being executed at an office of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent before the specific calendar date stated in written closing instructions from the insured name in Schedule A delivered to the Company or its Title Insurance Agent prior to the execution of the insured mortgage and promissory note.

(b)        Any loan proceeds received by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent in connection with the extension of credit secured by the lien of the insured mortgage being disbursed by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent sooner than the fourth calendar day after the insured mortgage and promissory note secured thereby are executed.

(c)        A document expressly purporting to evidence an election not to rescind the extension of credit secured by the lien of the insured mortgage being executed by the owner and spouse, if any, of the owner, in the presence of an escrow officer of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent on or before the date that the insured mortgage and promissory note secured thereby were executed.

(d)        Failure of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent to provide the owner with a copy of all documents related to the extension of credit secured by the lien of the insured mortgage that were executed by the owner at the office of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent on the date that the owner executed the insured mortgage and the promissory note secured thereby.

(e)        The Company or its Title Insurance Agent collecting or disbursing any fees not shown on the final settlement statement prepared by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent and sent to the lender named on the settlement statement prior to the execution of the insured mortgage and the promissory note secured thereby.

(f)        Blanks (other than signature lines, if any, for execution by the lender) in the following instruments left to be filled in when executed by the owner in an office of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent: (i) an instrument prepared by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent, (ii) the purported written acknowledgment as to the fair market value, (iii) the insured mortgage, (iv) the promissory note secured thereby, or (v) affidavits of compliance with Section 50(a)(6), Article XVI, Texas Constitution.

(g)        The failure of the written document purporting to be a written acknowledgment as to the fair market value of the land to have attached, at the time of execution of such written document by the owner, a purported appraisal or a purported evaluation of the fair market value of the land. However, the Company does not insure that the purported written acknowledgment or the purported appraisal or purported evaluation complies with Subsection (a)(Q)(ix) or Subsection (h) of Section 50, Article XVI, Texas Constitution, or any laws or regulations relating to the subject matter of said subsections.

(h)        The failure of the written document purporting to be an acknowledgment as to the fair market value to be executed by the owner on the date that the insured mortgage and promissory note secured thereby are executed by the owner.

(j)         Title to other land which, according to the public records, appears to be vested in the name of the owner as shown on Schedule A and which is not described in Schedule A and which is located in the same county in which the land described in Schedule A is located, being subject at Date of Policy to a mortgage executed by the owner, recorded in the public records, which discloses that it secures an extension of credit made pursuant to Subsection (a)(6) of Section 50, Article XVI, Texas Constitution.

(k)        Title to other land which, according to the public records, appears to be vested in the name of the owner as shown on Schedule A and which is not described in Schedule A and which is located in the same county in which the land described in Schedule A is located, having been subject to a mortgage executed by the owner, recorded in the public records, which disclosed that it secured an extension of credit made pursuant to Subsection (a)(6) of Section 50, Article XVI, Texas Constitution, that was closed within one year prior to Date of Policy.

(l)         Failure of the Company or its Title Insurance Agent to provide the owner a copy of the final settlement statement prepared by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent itemizing the actual fees, points, interest, costs and charges collected or disbursed by the Company or its Title Insurance Agent at least one calendar day before the business day or subsequent calendar day that the owner executed the insured mortgage and the promissory note secured thereby. As used in this paragraph (l), the term business day shall have the meaning assigned to such term by the Texas Finance Commission and/or the Texas Credit Union Commission pursuant to the authority granted such agencies by sections 11.308 and 15.413 of the Texas Finance Code, respectively.

2.         This Endorsement does not insure against invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the insured mortgage, or claim thereof, arising out of usury or truth in lending laws.

3.         Except as provided in paragraph 1 above and except as provided in the Equity Loan Mortgage Endorsement (T-42), the Company does not insure against invalidity or unenforceability of the lien on the insured mortgage, which arises out of the transaction evidenced by the insured mortgage and is based on any consumer credit protection law.

4.         This Endorsement does not represent or insure that a Title Insurance Agent of the Company is the agent of the Company other than for issuance of title insurance policies, as provided by applicable law.
