AUSTIN, Texas — Six leading consumer advocacy groups joined together today, calling on the Texas Department of Insurance to take action to ensure Texas families are not charged excessive automobile insurance during the COVID-19 crisis.
With reduced driving due to the COVID-19 pandemic, auto insurance carriers are experiencing lower losses, which should translate into lower rates for policyholders.

The Texas House recently investigated how policyholders are being treated along our coast as they fight to rebuild, and it isn't a pretty picture.
We filed these comments with the Texas Department of Insurance to make sure coastal policyholders are paid every cent they are owed after a storm.
We filed this open records request with the Texas Department of Insurance to see the language auto insurers are using to limit the amount they pay for repairs. Inadequate payments lead to corner cutting. Safety suffers. Insurance companies shouldn't be able to threaten your family's safety by writing policies that game the system.
