§ 35.585. EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO VICTIM OF IDENTITY
THEFT. (a) In this section, "victim of identity theft" means an
individual who has filed a criminal complaint alleging the
commission of an offense under Section 32.51, Penal Code, other
than a person who is convicted of an offense under Section 37.08,
Penal Code, with respect to that complaint. A person who has been
notified that an individual who has the capacity to contract has
been the victim of identity theft may not deny the individual an
extension of credit, including a loan, in the individual's name or
restrict or limit the credit extended solely because the individual
has been a victim of identity theft. This subsection does not
prohibit a person from denying an individual an extension of credit
for a reason other than because the individual has been a victim of
identity theft.
(b) A license issued under Subtitle B, Title 4, Finance
Code, that is held by a person who violates this section is subject
to revocation or suspension under that subtitle.
Added by Acts 2005, 79th Leg., ch. 102, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 2005.
