In a rebuke towards the do-nothing Texas Legislature, Houston took one step toward becoming the 5th major Texas town to pass payday and auto-title loan limitations. Houston Mayor Annise Parker outlined her proposition final week and announced that she’dn’t dilute the proposed ordinance predicated on industry needs.
“ I had at first favored a Houston-specific measure, but decided that joining along with other Texas metropolitan areas in a united front side with this problem is the better option to deliver a powerful message towards the Texas Legislature,” she said.
