The Company Licensing and Registration Office handles the transactions related to the Certificate of Authority (license) of entities engaging in the business of Life Settlements. Life Settlements are licensed under Texas Insurance Code (TIC) Chapter 1111A and regulations are found in 28 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 3. Life Settlements can be both an insurance product and a securities product. This may subject them to the jurisdiction of the Texas Department of Insurance and the State Securities Board (SSB). However, only the initial transaction, which is the sale of the policy from the initial policy owner to the provider (negotiated by the broker) is regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance.
The Company Licensing and Registration Office handles the licensing and biennial renewals; surrender or non-renewal; and change of information for Providers, Provider Representatives, and Brokers.
