Texas Cuts Homeowners and Renters Rates Across State
Texas Insurance Commissioner Jose Montemayor ordered a statewide 6.6 percent cut in homeowners rates and a 3.4 percent cut in renters rates. New benchmark rates take effect June 15, but policy premiums may vary within a 30 percent range by territory. The CHIP program trims costs for Needy families with caps of 18 dollars monthly and ten dollar visits, with prescriptions 1 to 10 dollars. Applications are open nationwide to children under 19 from families at or below twice the poverty line, about 34,100 for a family of four.
