Sec. 162.016. TIME LIMIT ON TRANSFER. (a) A home or any interest therein, against which there is a mortgage, deed of trust, or any other lien securing a loan under this chapter may not be leased, transferred, sold, or conveyed in whole or in part until the original veteran purchaser has occupied the home as his principal residence for a period of three years from the date of the purchase of the home and complied with the terms and conditions of this chapter and the rules of the board.
(b) After the three-year period, a home may be transferred, sold, or conveyed subject to any lien securing a loan under this chapter at any time if all mature interest, principal, and taxes have been paid, the terms and conditions of this chapter and rules of the board have been met, and the approval of the board has been obtained.
(c) The board may waive the time limitation of Subsection (a) of this section upon the death, bankruptcy, financial incapacity, or divorce of the veteran or in the event a veteran is forced to move due to a change in employment or because his home is condemned through no fault of the veteran or at any other time it deems a waiver to be in the best interest of the program.
(d) In the event the requirements of Subsection (a) of this section fail to be met and the board does not waive the time limitations as provided in Subsection (c) of this section, the board may provide in its rules for the escalation of the interest rate on the loan to a higher rate of interest or the acceleration of all principal and interest on the loan or such other remedy as the board may in its discretion deem appropriate.
