TDI to Consider Proposals to Update Basic Manual During Rulemaking Hearing Nov. 15
The hearing Nov. 15 will not address the basic premium rate, focusing instead on Basic Manual rules, forms and endorsement rates

September 20, 2023 | Texas Land Title Association

The Texas Department of Insurance set a Nov. 15 hearing to consider proposals to update, correct and clarify rules and forms in the Basic Manual. A petition from TLTA, as well as additional proposals from TDI, will be discussed at the hearing. Review TDI's notice
 
The rules and endorsement rate adjustments proposed by TLTA were generated by TLTA's Regulatory Committee  and approved by TLTA's Board of Directors  following many years of work. TLTA's rule package contains several improvements to current procedural rules, a modernization of certain fees, new endorsements, and plain language rewrites.  
 
The upcoming hearing follows months of work with TDI that began last December with a public meeting and continued with an additional public meeting this summer wherein issues were discussed among TLTA members, stakeholders, and TDI staff, resulting in an improved package that will be considered at the November hearing.
