Made for Texas

What Texans should know

Workers' comp is optional in Texas, with trade-offs

Texas is the only state that lets most private employers opt out of workers' compensation. Non-subscribers give up important legal protections and must notify employees and the state. Many government contracts and general contractors require coverage.

Personal auto may not cover work vehicles

Using a personal policy for business driving can leave claims unpaid. Vehicles titled to a business or used for hauling, deliveries, or job sites usually need commercial auto.

Hail and wind hit businesses too

Commercial property in Texas often carries separate wind/hail deductibles. Coastal properties may need TWIA windstorm coverage.
