 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Subchapter D, Chapter 393, Finance Code, is
 amended by adding Section 393.308 to read as follows:
 Sec. 393.308.  PROHIBITION RELATING TO EXTENSIONS OF
 CONSUMER CREDIT. A credit services organization may not obtain an
 extension of consumer credit for a consumer or assist a consumer in
 obtaining an extension of consumer credit unless the organization
 is licensed under Subchapter G.

 is continued in effect for that purpose.
 SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2021.
