Texas: Sponsors Have Responsibilities for Temporary Agent, Adjuster Licenses

The Texas Department of Insurance in Commissioner’s Bulletin No. B-0026-20 reminds insurers, agents, agencies, and adjusters of their responsibilities for temporary agent and emergency adjuster applicants and licensees.

TDI said certain licensing requirements for insurance agents and adjusters and extended temporary licenses while many testing and fingerprinting sites remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The department said those sponsoring someone with a temporary license are:

• responsible for the acts of the temporary or emergency licensee;
• expected to review the applicant’s background to ensure suitability for licensure; and
• expected to monitor behavior and provide required training.
