“High insurance costs hit Texas families hard, and premiums must reflect real risk,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “These filings show lower rates for many Texas homeowners and drivers. Texas will hold insurers to state law, and I will work with the Legislature next session to further curb premium increases.”
TDI reviews all rate filings to make sure proposed rates meet state law requirements.
“Lower rate filings are an encouraging sign for Texas consumers, and we’re pleased to see some relief beginning to reach the market,” said Insurance Commissioner Amanda Crawford. “As rates moderate, Texans should take advantage of the competitive market, shop around, and make sure they’re getting the best value for their coverage.”
Shopping around is one of the best ways to find a better deal. Nearly 160 companies sell auto and homeowners insurance in Texas.
