Title 28 - INSURANCE
Part 1 - TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Chapter 19 - LICENSING AND REGULATION OF INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS
Subchapter J - STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR LICENSED AGENTS
Section 19.902 - One Agent, One License
Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
(a) Only one license of the same type permitted. No agent may hold more than one license of the same type currently in effect. An agent doing an insurance business subject to the provisions of this subchapter must have the agent's license certificate issued in the agent's true name. If an individual is authorized to act as a particular type of agent, that individual need not obtain an additional license in order to participate in a licensed partnership or corporate agency of the same type, but the partnership or corporation must obtain a separate license. Any licensed agent may have additional offices or do an insurance business under assumed names without obtaining an additional license; provided, however, each agent must furnish the Texas Department of Insurance with a certification showing any and all assumed names that the agent will use. Where such a filing is required under the Assumed Business or Professional Name Act (Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 71, concerning Assumed Business or Professional Name), or any similar statute, the agent must provide the Texas Department of Insurance with a copy of the valid assumed name certificate reflecting proper registration of each assumed name used by the agent.
(b) Standards for approval and disapproval of names to be used by licensed agents.
(c) An agent must register any assumed name using instructions provided on the department's website.
