Authorized and admitted companies:

These insurers represent the standard market. The Company Licensing and Registration office incorporates and licenses domestic authorized carriers, and admits foreign insurers, licensing them to operate in the Texas standard admitted market. This office also reviews and approves other related transactions that impact the charter and/or license of domestic insurers and the license of foreign insurers. All filings should be submitted by email. For instructions, please refer to “Electronic Filings Guidelines.”

Registered and non-admitted companies:

When the same kind and class of coverage cannot be placed in the admitted market with a licensed insurer after a diligent search by a licensed surplus lines agent, it can be placed in the non-admitted market with a surplus lines insurer. Due to market availability issues, unique risks or limits which exceed what is available in the admitted market, surplus lines insurance is sometimes available. Financial oversight of these companies is in accordance with the Federal Non-Admitted Reinsurance Reform Act (NRRA), often including higher capitalization levels than the admitted market requires.

The Company Licensing and Registration office also registers Risk Retention Groups, Accredited, Certified, Trusteed and Reciprocal Jurisdiction Reinsurers, and Purchasing Groups. 

Submitted all filings electronically to CLRFilings@tdi.texas.gov. For instructions on filing electronically, please refer to “Electronic Filings Guidelines.”
