TxCIA Lobbying Initiative Achieves Goal

TxCIA's Board of Directors is pleased to announce that a special lobbying initiative for the 88^th regular session of the Texas Legislature has achieved the Association's objective. In June of 2023, the budget for the 2024-2025 biennium was approved by Governor Abbott. The budget included an appropriation directing the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) to retain, through a competitive application process, a captive Insurance specialist to support captive insurance oversight and related activities in the Texas captive insurance market. The move is expected to enhance the efficiency of the Texas captive insurance market and the ability of Texas to attract new captive investments in the state. TxCIA extends its special thanks to Senator Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown) and Representative Ed Thompson (R-Pearland) for sponsoring the appropriation and shepherding it through the appropriations process.
