1Opinion of the Court

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

Gary Frankford and CPDC, Inc. (collectively “CPDC”) sued Joseph Zer-Ilan and Ideal Systems, Inc. in bankruptcy court for violations of the Texas usury statute. They won a substantial judgment in the bankruptcy court, but the district court reversed. The principal issue on appeal is whether Zer-Ilan and Ideal timely cured alleged usury violations, bringing them within the safe harbor afforded by Tex. FimCode Ann. § 305.103.
