Bay Area Houston

Our Representative, Dennis Paul, filed HB 2067. The hearing for HB 2067 was held on Tuesday March 26 starting at 8:00 am in Austin. The bill will simply require an insurance company to write a letter to a policy holder if they deny or cancel their policy. That’s it. Nothing more. It will NOT lower our premiums or deductibles. 

You can view the entire hearing here. It starts at 1:30 and runs for about 15 minutes.  I spoke with every staff member responsible for the bills in the Insurance Committee and urged them to, at the very least, require the insurance companies to report this information to the Texas Department of Insurance so we can know what companies do not do business in our area. That was not discussed in the hearing. I also met with Representative Paul last week concerning this issue.

At the end of the hearing a member of the TDI touched on the lack of this data being available to the consumers but unless a bill addresses this issue nothing will be done. This bill does not address this issue.

Thank you for sending your comments to the committee. There are other bills being addressed. I will keep you informed.
