Introduction

from TDI
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), with authority from the state legislature,
is responsible for the licensing and regulation of persons who wish to sell insurance
or adjust property-casualty claims in the state of Texas. Some of these licenses
require that applicants pass a TDI examination. TDI has contracted with Prometric
Inc., to administer these exams on behalf of TDI, as well as to receive and screen
candidate applications related to these examinations.
This bulletin provides you with information about the TDI examination and
application process for becoming licensed as one of the following:

We wish you well in preparing for your examination and remind you that by law you
are required to complete continuing education credits approved by TDI in each twoyear
license period. A license is a privilege, not a right or a gift. You must commit
yourself from the beginning to comply with the insurance laws and regulations set
forth in the Texas Insurance Code and Title 28 of the Texas Administrative Code.
The laws and administrative rules can be changed at any time. You are expected to
be aware of changes in laws and administrative rules that affect your occupational
practice. TDI places full responsibility on you, the prospective licensee, to
know and comply with the law.
