The Texas Mortgage Pros, NMLS #2665861, today announced expanded access to 2026 Texas down payment assistance programs, making it easier for first-time and repeat homebuyers to bridge the gap between what they have saved and what they need to close on a home. By aligning statewide resources with local city and county programs, the company aims to help qualified buyers cover a meaningful portion of their down payment and closing costs while still securing a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

"Down payment programs in Texas are specifically designed for people who can comfortably afford a mortgage payment but are struggling to come up with 5 or 10 percent down in today's market," said Jason Turner, NMLS #286357, Broker Principal of The Texas Mortgage Pros. "Our goal in 2026 is to make sure more of those families discover that help sooner, so they are not sitting on the sidelines for years thinking homeownership is out of reach."

Texas offers several statewide down payment assistance programs through leading housing agencies that help bridge the gap between savings and the upfront costs of buying a home:

• Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC): TSAHC provides down payment assistance in conjunction with mortgage products to make homeownership attainable for eligible buyers. Options include grants and forgivable second liens, often up to 5% of the loan amount, depending on the program selected. TSAHC's flagship offerings include the Home Sweet Texas Home Loan and Homes for Texas Heroes programs, which help both first-time buyers and community heroes such as teachers, first responders, and veterans purchase a home.
  
  
• Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA): Through the My First Texas Home and related Homebuyer Programs, TDHCA offers down payment and closing cost assistance combined with competitive, low-interest mortgage financing. These programs are available statewide and tailored to support first-time buyers and qualified applicants, providing up to 5% assistance with purchase costs.

In addition to statewide resources, local city and county down payment assistance programs are expanding opportunities for buyers throughout Texas. Many municipalities, including Austin, Dallas, Houston, and others, offer supplemental grant or forgivable loan programs that can significantly reduce the cash needed at closing and further support buyers with income-based qualifications.

"These assistance tools can be transformative for Texans," said Mr. Turner. "By combining statewide programs with local resources, buyers have more pathways to affordable homeownership, even in competitive markets."

"At the end of the day, our job is to take something complex and make it feel clear, honest, and doable for the families we serve," said Jason Turner. "If a buyer has solid income and is willing to complete homebuyer education, there is a good chance we can find a program, or a combination of programs that moves their 2026 home search from wishful thinking to a real plan."
