For Veterans & Service Members
You Served Your Country. Let Us Serve You.
The VA home loan is the most powerful mortgage benefit in America. Zero down, no mortgage insurance, and rates that beat conventional loans — all backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
You Might Qualify for Money You Don't Have to Repay.
Thousands of homebuyers leave money on the table because they don't know DPA programs exist. We check every available program in your area — grants that never need to be repaid, plus forgivable second mortgages.
Construction-to-permanent financing, renovation loans, manufactured and mobile home programs, and land loans — all the specialty purchase products most lenders don't offer.
Answers to the most common questions from homebuyers.
How much down payment do I need to buy a home?
It depends on the loan program. VA and USDA loans offer 0% down. FHA requires as little as 3.5%. Conventional starts at 3% for first-time buyers. We also offer Down Payment Assistance programs that can cover your entire down payment and closing costs.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
FHA accepts scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down (or 500 with 10% down). VA has no VA-mandated minimum, though most lenders require 580–620. Conventional typically requires 620+. We work with borrowers across the credit spectrum.
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is an informal estimate based on self-reported information. Pre-approval involves a credit check, income verification, and documentation review — resulting in a conditional commitment that carries significantly more weight with sellers.
Can I buy a home with no money down?
Yes. VA loans (for eligible veterans) and USDA loans (for eligible rural and suburban areas) both offer 100% financing. We also offer Down Payment Assistance programs that can help cover your down payment on other loan types.
What is a VA home loan and who qualifies?
A VA home loan is guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, Guard/Reserve members, and surviving spouses. Benefits include no down payment, no PMI, competitive rates, and limited closing costs.
What is Down Payment Assistance (DPA)?
DPA programs provide grants or forgivable loans to cover your down payment and closing costs. Eligibility is typically based on income, location, and buyer status. Texana Bank offers access to multiple DPA programs across our service areas.
Can I build a home with a construction loan?
Yes. Our Construction-to-Permanent loans finance the build and automatically convert to a permanent mortgage once complete — one closing, one set of fees, one rate lock from the start.
How long does the home buying process take?
From accepted offer to closing, 30–45 days for conventional and FHA, 30–60 days for VA. Getting pre-approved before shopping speeds things up significantly.
Do I need to be a first-time homebuyer to get help?
No. While some DPA programs prefer first-time buyers, most of our 11 purchase programs serve repeat buyers too. VA, FHA, Conventional, Jumbo, USDA, Construction and others are available to all qualified borrowers.
Does applying for a mortgage pre-qualification affect my credit score?
No. Texana Bank Mortgage uses a soft credit inquiry for pre-qualification, which has no effect on your credit score. You can explore your loan options and check your rate without any impact to your credit.

Where to really start. Adam walked me through everything and put me at ease. I have had some bad experiences with other companies so I was digging and looking for any red flag. There was none with him and his direct talk is what did it for me. Someone that is real and just says what it is. No false hope or misdirection at anytime.
I would recommend him to anyone and definitely Someone looking for honesty and caring. The communication is top notch and a true professional.
Respectfully,

Adam McCormick is an absolute professional in every sense of the word. I will NEVER use any other loan officer for my financials other than Adam as long as he is in the business. His work as my loan officer was exceptional. Throughout the process, he always responded to an e-mail, responded to a text, called right back if not answering immediately. He always made you feel as though you were his only client. There was never the impression he had more important things to do other than speak with you. He worked with us through a death in the family, personal issues, and numerous other challenges. It's possible other loan officers would have given up on us during this process, but Adam stuck with us through it all. His work ethic is amazing. He is an expert in his craft. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation, he has redefined what right looks like in this business.

Texana Bank was there for us throughout the entire process. Their personableness, as well, their professionalism. As a financial institution it was nice to know that while obtaining a loan, we had a safe place to relay. They are absolutely “by the book” and at the same time makes the process easier to participate. The hospitality and genuine concern as clients was overwhelming of which we will always consider Texana Bank first, before mostly any other financial institution.

I’ve worked with mini bankers before and I used to do them over a decade ago myself and my experience that I had with Chad was nothing short of phenomenal. He is a wonderful Banker does a very diligent job and did not miss any moments of reassuring me where my loan was and closing I couldn’t say enough good things about him and I hope if I ever need to go through this stressful process again he is still in business to take care of me
