Dear Agent,
As we shared earlier this month, beginning June 1, the windstorm certification process will be administered solely by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). At that time:
- TWIA will stop accepting applications for Certificates of Compliance for completed structural improvements. May 31 is the last day TWIA will accept applications.
- TDI will start issuing Certificates of Compliance for completed structural improvements. TDI will continue to issue Certificates of Compliance for new and in-progress structural improvements.
Certificates of Compliance are an important eligibility requirement for wind and hail coverage through TWIA and some private insurance companies. Please share this information with your clients, fellow agents, and others in your community who may be impacted, such as real estate agents.
This change and its effective date are required by legislation passed in 2019 (Senate Bill 615 and House Bill 1900).
