What to expect

Pawn loans in Texas.

TX state-law rate cap

Tiered monthly rate by loan size: 20%/mo on loans up to $270; 15%/mo on $270.01–$1,800; 2.5%/mo on $1,800.01–$2,700; 1%/mo on $2,700.01–$18,500.

  • APR equivalent: 12%–240% APR depending on loan size
  • Term: Minimum 30-day loan term (standard); most Texas shops extend month-to-month.
  • ID required: Valid government-issued photo ID required under Texas OCCC rules.

Source: Texas OCCC Pawnshop Rate Chart. Rates are maximums set by state statute; individual shops may charge less.

National context

  • Loan amount: 25%–60% of resale value. Shops lend a fraction of what they’re confident they can resell the item for. The National Pawnbrokers Association reports the average US pawn loan is about $150 (NPA data via AmeriSave).
  • Redemption rate: ~85%. The NPA reports that roughly 85% of pawn customers successfully repay and reclaim their item — a pawn loan is a temporary liquidity bridge for most people, not a sale.
  • No credit check, no credit impact. A pawn loan is secured by the item itself. Default means you lose the collateral; it does not appear on your credit report and cannot damage your score.

Methodology

How this list is built.

We include every verified pawn shop in Brownsville, TX with an aggregate Google rating of 4.5 stars or higher and at least 30 published reviews. Shops are ranked first by rating (descending), then by review count (descending) to break ties.

What we do not do: We do not accept payment for inclusion or placement. We do not mystery-shop each location — rankings are based on public review aggregates, not PawnGuru editorial opinion. We do not publish fabricated price estimates or AI-generated imagery of shops.

When this was updated: Ratings and review counts are rechecked against public sources during PawnGuru verification runs. The underlying data was last re-verified in April 2026.

Shop owners can submit new listings or report inaccuracies. We respond to correction requests within two business days.
