How Texas loan limits work in 2026
The conforming limit, set by the FHFA, is the line between a conventional loan and a jumbo loan. For 2026 it is $832,750 statewide in Texas. The FHA limit, set by HUD, caps the maximum FHA-insured loan; it sits at the floor in standard-cost counties and steps up in designated high-cost metros. VA imposes no limit on full-entitlement borrowers. I run the math across all four on every file so you see which program your scenario actually lines up with.
