INSURANCE ADJUSTER License in Texas

Texas licenses several types of insurance adjusters through the Texas Department of Insurance, Agent and Adjuster Licensing Division.

Texas also separately licenses Workers' Compensation adjusters and public insurance adjusters (PIAJs) who act on behalf of insureds. A state or third-party exam is required but no educational prerequisites or experience are mandated. Continuing education is required for renewal. Texas has specific type of conviction prohibitions. The state is a major catastrophe adjuster market due to hurricane, hail, and tornado exposure.
