Texas Insurance Dialer

Insurance Calling Compliance in Texas

Selling insurance in Texas (TX) means navigating regulations from the Texas Department of Insurance, federal TCPA rules, and CMS guidelines if you sell Medicare products. With a population of 30.5 million, Texas represents a significant market for Health insurance, Medicare, auto insurance, life insurance, and flood insurance.

Texas is the third-largest insurance market in the US. The Texas No-Call list (Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 304) adds state requirements. Texas spans two time zones (Central and Mountain). TDI regulations require specific disclosures during insurance solicitation calls. The large, diverse population creates opportunities across all insurance lines.

Texas Insurance Market Overview

Texas is the third-largest insurance market in the United States, serving over 30.5 million residents with more than 200,000 licensed producers. The Lone Star State's size, diversity, and growth create enormous opportunity across every insurance line. Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin drive health, Medicare, auto, life, and property markets. Coastal exposure makes flood insurance critical; hail and wind drive property claims statewide.

Texas Insurance Regulatory Landscape

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) regulates all insurance under the Texas Insurance Code. Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 304 establishes the Texas No-Call list and telemarketing rules. Texas uniquely permits Sunday calls from noon to 9 PM—broader than most states. The state spans Central and Mountain time zones (El Paso area). TDI enforces strict agent licensing, disclosure requirements, and market conduct. Violations draw significant fines and enforcement action.
