The OCCC's educational activities are critical to maintaining a positive and effective regulatory presence. Agency programs are designed to provide credit information that meets the needs of Texas' credit consumers and industries. Ongoing credit education for consumers is particularly essential. Although the complexity and variety of credit options steadily increases, the credit savvy of most consumers remains at low levels. The OCCC plans to develop a comprehensive curriculum guide for use in middle schools and high schools; read about that plan on the agency's funding page.
The agency has information available on home equity, credit basics for consumers, lending terms, and pawn transactions, among other topics. Credit information is delivered through:
- Presentations at community events such as trade or credit fairs
- Participation in workshops with other education-oriented organizations
- Press releases and public service announcements
- Internet publications
- Distribution of brochures
- Outreach to high school students and teachers
- Other internal and external publications and presentations
Both consumers and education organizers can contact this department Monday through Friday to discuss the potential for an agency presentation at an event. Most decisions regarding events are made within two to four days. Brochure requests are usually filled within two weeks of being ordered. The OCCC offers its own credit education services and partners with non-profit educational and debt-counseling programs to promote credit-wise decision-making by Texas consumers.
If you have questions about credit education or would like a presentation for your group, contact Steven O'Shields at 512.936.7620 or via e-mail.
