Robertson Law Retarding Texas Development and Lending
Fort Worth, Oct. 13. Texas development is being retarded and borrowers penalized because of the Robertson insurance law, says R. B. Bishop, president of Investors Mortgage Company, touring the local office from New Orleans. He cites Texas loan costs at 7 to 8 percent for farm, residence, and business loans versus 5 to 6 percent elsewhere, noting insurers barred from Texas limits lending, despite cheaper funds in other states. He argues Texas offers rich farmland and growing taxes, and urges repeal as the law hinders investment and development.
