Insurance Cancellations Rules Debated by Texas Board
At a December hearing board chairman Larry Teaver urged insurance companies to disclose why policies are canceled within the 60 day window.

State officials have long criticized insurers for reducing coverage with little enforcement action since 1971 legislation granted the board limited powers.
