Text

Any notice or disclosure (notice) required by Finance Code Chapters 157 or 180, or this chapter, must be easily readable. A notice is deemed to be easily readable if it is in at least 12-point font and uses a typeface specified by this section. A font point generally equates to 1/72 of an inch. If Finance Code Chapters 157 or 180, or this chapter, prescribes a form for the notice, the notice must closely follow the font types used in the form. For example, where the form uses bolded, underlined, or "all caps" font type, the notice must be made using those font types. The following typefaces are deemed to be easily readable for purposes of this section (list is not exhaustive and other typefaces may be used; provided, the typeface is easily readable):

(1) Arial;

(2) Aptos;

(3) Calibri;

(4) Century Schoolbook;

(5) Garamond;

(6) Georgia;

(7) Lucinda Sans;

(8) Times New Roman;

(9) Trebuchet; and

(10) Verdana.
