The Texas Department of Insurance issues this mandatory data call under Texas Insurance Code §2703.153, which requires each title insurance company and title insurance agent engaged in the business of title insurance in Texas to annually submit certain data to TDI. TDI uses this data to set title insurance premium rates, as required by Texas Insurance Code §2703.151.

You must respond to this data call using the attached instructions and forms no later than September 30, 2016. 

You must complete the data call using the interactive PDF forms available online at www.tdi.texas.gov/bulletins/index.html. These forms require Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or higher. You can obtain a free reader from Adobe at http://get.adobe.com/reader/

You should use your agent’s Firm ID number and DBA name in the General Information Section of the report form. You can view this information on TDI's website at https://apps.tdi.state.tx.us/sfsdatalookup/StartAction.do, selecting Title Agent/Escrow Officers, and then selecting the desired report.
