Neugent Proposes Insurance Guideline Change For Mobile Homes
Democratic candidate Dean Neugent toured Port Lavaca and Pearland urging the Texas State Insurance Commission to amend cancellation guidelines so mobile home policies cannot be canceled within the policy year if not canceled within 60 to 90 days after purchase. He contrasted mobile home protections with auto and home coverage and discussed land control on the Gulf Coast, Matagorda Island ownership, and term limits for legislators. Neugent outlined two criminal justice reforms speedier trials via permanent courts, and bail restrictions on felons while on first offenses, plus support for wiretaps with district judge warrants for narcotics cases.
