Actually, some lenders are doing conventional Freddie Mac loans allowing back end ratios up to 50. I don't do loans in Texas, sorry, but check around as to who is doing Freddie Mac loans... Best of luck!

43% or lower is ideal, but you can get approved if your at or below 45%. FHA allows for up to 56% DTI, but the mortgage insurance is very expensive.. ..

Virtually always max of 45% - very occasionally we'll see an approval up to 49.9 with a very strong buyer. Usually, there is some very strong factor like a ton of reserves or very low housing ratio with less than 12 months to pay on installment debt.
