Tex. Insurance Code § 2210.2032: PREMIUM PAYMENT METHODS.

(a) The association shall accept payment of premium by credit card. The association may impose a fee on a policyholder for the use of a credit card to pay premium. The fee may not exceed the amount necessary to recoup the cost incurred by the association in connection with the policyholder's use of a credit card.

(b) The association shall provide to policyholders the option to pay premium in installments. A policyholder that pays premium in accordance with an installment payment plan established by the association and remains current on the payments satisfies the obligation for payment of premium under this chapter.

(c) Due to the availability of multiple installment payment plans directly through the association at no additional cost to the insured, the use of premium financing arrangements is prohibited.
