Licensed & NMLS Registered

Texas Mortgage Consultants, PLLC operates under NMLS #1843758, meeting all state and federal licensing requirements for residential mortgage lending in Texas.

In the Industry Since 2002

Russell Stout has been originating Texas home loans for over two decades — bringing real experience through every type of market cycle and lending environment.

Access to Multiple Lenders

Unlike bank loan officers limited to one lender's products, Russell shops your loan across a network of lenders to secure the most competitive rate and terms available.

Statewide Texas Coverage

From the Hill Country to the Gulf Coast, we serve homebuyers and homeowners across all of Texas — not just the Austin metro.

Client Education First

We believe informed clients make better decisions. Texas Mortgage Consultants is committed to answering every question and explaining every step of the loan process clearly.

One Application Does It All

Apply once and let us handle the lender shopping. You get multiple competitive offers without the time and hassle of filing separate applications.

Equal Housing Opportunity
Loan Programs

The Right Loan
for Every Situation

We offer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA home loans plus refinancing — matched to your financial profile and homeownership goals across Texas.

VA Loans FHA Loans

Conventional Loans

Flexible financing for borrowers with strong credit profiles — often the most cost-effective path for qualified buyers who want competitive rates without government program restrictions.

FHA Home Loans

Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans offer lower down payment options and more flexible qualification standards — a popular choice for first-time buyers.

VA Home Loans

Exclusively for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. No down payment requirements and no private mortgage insurance — outstanding terms.

USDA Home Loans

For buyers purchasing in eligible rural and suburban areas of Texas, USDA loans offer competitive rates and low-to-no down payment financing options.

Mortgage Refinancing

Lower your monthly payment, tap into equity, or shorten your loan term. Russell evaluates your refinance options across multiple lenders to find the best deal.

First-Time Homebuyer Program

Our comprehensive guide and hands-on coaching takes the intimidation out of buying your first home. We've helped hundreds of Texas families reach closing day.

Common Questions

Everything You
Need to Know

A mortgage broker like Texas Mortgage Consultants works with multiple lenders, shopping the market on your behalf to find the best rate and terms. A bank or mortgage banker can only offer their own products. Because brokers operate with less overhead than big banks, clients typically benefit from lower costs — and you only have to apply once.

We offer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA home loans, as well as mortgage refinancing. Russell will help you identify which program best fits your financial profile and homeownership goals.

Yes. Texas Mortgage Consultants serves clients throughout the entire state of Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, El Paso, and all points in between.

Start with our First-Time Homebuyer Guide or give us a call. We've helped hundreds of first-time buyers across Texas navigate the process, and Russell will walk you through exactly what to expect before you commit to anything.

Absolutely. VA home loans are one of our core specialties. If you're an eligible veteran, active-duty service member, or surviving spouse, we'll help you take full advantage of the outstanding benefits the VA loan program offers.

Banks can only offer you their own loan products at their own rates. A mortgage broker shops your loan across multiple lenders, which means more competition for your business and better potential terms. You also deal with one point of contact — Russell — throughout the entire process.

Texas Mortgage Consultants, PLLC is registered with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System under NMLS #1843758.

You can call Russell directly at 512-423-4663, apply online through our website, or send a message through our contact form. There's no obligation — just a straightforward conversation about your options.
