Texans Face Higher Auto Insurance Rates On Aug
Texas motorists likely will pay more for auto insurance on August 1 as the State Board of Insurance signals a 9.8 percent overall rate hike to end losses. The increase could total about 26 million dollars for policyholders while industry groups push for 6 to 7 percent. House debates and labor leader Hank Brown dispute the need, arguing factors like over-reserving and profits were ignored. The eight hour hearing focused largely on revisions to the state insurance plan.
