The Texas Department of Insurance has repealed and replaced Chapter 15 of the Texas Administrative Code relating to surplus lines insurance. The Commissioner of Insurance previously published and considered public comments concerning the proposed revisions in mid-2018. According to a December 10, 2018 release, the proposed revisions were largely adopted without change, though certain non-substantive modifications were made in response to comments. The Commissioner stated that the revisions were necessary to implement legislation concerning Texas surplus lines insurance and to generally update and reorganize Department of Insurance rules. The newly-adopted Chapter 15 can be viewed here.
