Texas DOI Revises Policyholder Notice Language

Texas DOI Revises Policyholder Notice Language

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) published notice of its adoption of amendments to 28 TX ADC 1.601 and 28 TX ADC 1.602.  These two sections of the Texas Administrative Code pertain to policyholder notices that are required on new or renewal policies for all admitted lines of business.  Per the TDI, amending §1.601 and §1.602 will improve the readability of the regulations and make it easier for consumers to know where and how to get help with an insurance question or complaint.  Insurers must begin using the new notice wording no later than May 4, 2020 (6 months after the effective date of the adopted regulations, November 4, 2019).
