The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) Board of Directors will hold an interim meeting on Wednesday, October 8, at 1:30 p.m. CT to review preliminary information about the Association’s 2026 budget. The meeting agenda is available.
TWIA staff will preview the 2026 budget ahead of the Board’s November 4 meeting in Corpus Christi. The Board is expected to approve the budget at the November meeting. The Board will not consider action on TWIA rates at this meeting.
The October 8 meeting will also include a presentation by Aon, TWIA’s catastrophe modeling vendor, on the catastrophe models that the Association has previously used to set TWIA’s minimum required funding level for each storm season.
