TDI launches new transparency tool showing why some home policies are declined, canceled, or not renewed
Plain English Summary
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has launched a new webpage that helps Texans understand why some home insurance policies are declined, canceled, or not renewed based on their ZIP code. This tool provides important information directly to consumers, including the reasons for policy decisions and statistics on active policies in their area. TDI will update this information at least every three months and plans to add details about auto insurance later this year. Insurance agents should inform their clients about this resource so they can better understand their options in the home insurance market.

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI)
launched a new webpage
today that gives Texans insight into why home insurance companies decline, cancel, or don’t renew certain policies by ZIP code.
“Texans deserve to know what’s happening in their insurance market and why. This new tool puts more information directly in consumers’ hands and advances our commitment to greater transparency across the Texas insurance market,” said Insurance Commissioner Amanda Crawford.
After entering their ZIP code, consumers can get the reasons insurance companies declined, canceled, or didn’t renew a policy in their area. The page also shows the number of active policies and the counts of nonrenewals, cancellations, and declinations reported by companies.
TDI will update the page at least quarterly and plans to expand the resource later this year with auto insurance insights.
This enhanced transparency stems from House Bill 2067, passed in 2025, which requires insurance companies to report this information to TDI and provide written explanations when they decline, cancel, or don’t renew a home insurance policy.
