## Text

Any notice or disclosure (notice) required by Finance Code
 Chapter 157, 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 Chapter 157 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;
