The TDHCA My First Texas Home program provides first-time homebuyers a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage paired with up to 5% of the loan amount in down payment and closing cost assistance. The assistance is structured as a 0% interest forgivable second lien that is forgiven after 3 years of owner-occupancy. Available statewide in Texas, the program is administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and offered through participating lenders.
