Drastic Reduction In Insurance Rates Will Save Texas Policy Holders
A statewide reduction in fire insurance rates announced by Texas fire insurance commissioner Marvin Mall will save policy holders an estimated $3,200,000 in the next 12 months. The rate cuts, effective August 1, cover many property classes with up to 25 percent savings for dwellings, though a few classes see increases due to losses. The board cites extensive loss studies and aims to broaden policy coverage while encouraging insurer and agent cooperation to pass savings to buyers.
