Texas
Department of Insurance (TDI)
The
recorded history of insurance law in Texas and the
predecessors of the Texas Department of Insurance
date back to 1876 -- the year Mark Twain published
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and Colorado became
the 38th state. The constitution of Texas adopted
that year authorized the Legislature to create the
office of Insurance Commissioner when it deemed it
necessary. Two years earlier, the state had made its
first effort to regulate the insurance business in
Texas. The state's economy and population were
growing, and wildcat insurance schemes were common.
The 14th Legislature in 1874 passed a law regulating
the life and health insurance business in the areas
of company formation, activities and coverage. |
