About the Texas Insurance Adjuster License

How do I get a Texas insurance adjuster license?

A. ITU offers the Texas Adjuster pre-licensing course in both classroom and online settings. These courses, which also satisfy the exam requirement, fulfill all obligations for obtaining your Texas Adjuster License.

Bottom line: Register today for your classroom licensing by calling (877) 934-4800 or click here to register for online licensing!

Why is this particular adjuster license important?

A. The Texas Insurance Adjuster License is among the adjusting industry's most sought after license - for Texas residents and non-residents alike. Extremely versatile, this insurance license is reciprocal with more states than any other state license. This allows a Texas licensed insurance adjuster to work in a wide geographical range without having to observe other states' standard insurance licensing procedures. Perhaps more importantly, Texas allows candidates for licensure to take approved pre-licensing courses rather than the conventional state insurance adjuster exam. State exams are notoriously difficult while pre-licensing courses are designed to be as "student friendly" as possible.

Bottom line: The Texas Insurance Adjuster License is the best in the business.

What is the license and what kind of claims will it allow me handle?

A. The Texas All-Lines Insurance Adjuster License (offered in our classroom course) is a two-year, renewable insurance license issued to those people who have passed:

1. their Texas adjuster pre-licensing course or
2. their adjuster licensing exam (administered by Thompson-Prometric).

With this license, adjusters are certified to work residential, commercial, automobile, farm and ranch, inland marine, ocean, and worker's compensation claims. The Texas Property and Casualty Adjuster License (offered in our online Virtual University) differs only in that it does not qualify adjusters to handle worker's compensation claims. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) stipulates 30 hours of (continuing education units (CEUs) for adjusters per 2 year period.

Bottom line:The Texas Insurance Adjuster License allows an adjuster to work any type of property claim.

Who needs the Texas Adjuster License?

A. If you are resident of Texas and you wish to become an insurance adjuster, this is the license for you. If you are a non-resident of Texas but live in a state that does not have an adjuster license requirement (states listed below), this is the license for you. If you live in a state that does have a license requirement, this is still an excellent license to hold, but ITU recommends you obtain your home state's license first.

Bottom line:The Texas Adjuster Insurance License is a must for residents of Texas and highly benefical to non-residents.
