My First Texas Home (TMP 79)

Effective October 2012, TDHCA announced the release of $600 million in homebuyer assistance — the largest amount ever offered by the state — through a new mortgage-backed securities initiative that provides qualifying borrowers a number of advantages over the Department’s previous single family bond program.

My First Texas Home’s "Taxable Mortgage Program" (TMP-79) offers more competitive fixed interest and annual percentage rates while providing down payment and closing cost assistance of 5 percent of the mortgage loan.

Plus, TMP funds can be combined with the Department’s Mortgage Credit Certificate Program, further increasing the home’s affordability. The program features a number of other benefits homebuyers will find attractive; however, current eligibility guidelines still apply.

All of this is available from the state agency synonymous with responsible homeownership. Beginning with its predecessor, the Texas Housing Agency, TDHCA has a long track record as a safe, trustworthy source of homebuyer assistance with 32 years of experience and expertise in working with low to moderate income first time homebuyers.
