Texas auto rate increase suspended amid credibility dispute
Texas Insurance Board Chairman Joe Christie halted a $192 million demand for a 17.4 percent auto insurance rate rise. He seeks reconciled loss claims and profits estimates after State Farm refunded $7.4 million to policyholders. Board members offered no comment on the surprise move. Christie questions why rates should rise when the industry reports strong profits in early 1977.

The plan allows building on the eastside but with no dollar amount tied to that site, prompting continued concern from Plano Area Concerned Citizens.
