The Texas State Board of Insurance regulates the state's insurance and
fire prevention industries under the provisions of the Texas Insurance Code and
other applicable statutes. The basic objectives of the code are to ensure the
financial soundness of the insurance industry and to protect the insurance
consumer. The board determines agency policy, sets rules, promulgates and
approves rates in certain property/casualty lines of insurance, hears appeals
of administrative rulings, and enforces statutory mandates. Five staff offices
report directly to the board: the General Counsel, the Chief Clerk, Statistical
and Rate Development, Statutory Implementation, and Information Services. The
board appoints a commissioner of insurance, who is over all other activities of
the agency with the exception of fire prevention functions. These are
supervised by the state fire marshal, who is appointed by the board's chair and
is responsible to the board.
The commissioner of insurance oversees four specialized units and four
broad programs. Reporting to the commissioner are (1) Hearings, which conducts
formal administrative hearings; (2) Conservation, which attempts to
rehabilitate and conserve insurance entities with impaired financial
conditions; (3) Liquidation, which operates under court order to liquidate
insolvent companies; and (4) Internal Audit, which assists management with
recommendations for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of agency
resources. Associate commissioners, under the direction of the commissioner,
oversee operations of the agency's four other major programs: the Regulated
Lines and Licensing Program, the Financial Program, the Compliance Program, and
the Administrative Services Program.
