Is there a maximum interest rate on personal loans in Paris, TX?
Tiered caps for licensed Chapter 342 lenders: up to 30% a year on the first $4,600, 24% on the part from $4,600 to $9,660, and 18% on the part up to $23,000 (amounts for loans made July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027).

How do installment loans work in Paris?

What is an installment loan?
An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off. Personal loans, auto loans and many short-term loans are installment loans. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a lump sum. Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to Paris borrowers who qualify.
Do I need to visit a store in Paris?
No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
