Texas Department of Insurance (TDI)
Spanish: Departamento de Seguros de Texas (TDI)
Definition
The Texas Department of Insurance, commonly abbreviated TDI, refers to the state agency responsible for regulating the insurance industry in Texas, including auto, homeowners, commercial, and specialty insurance. TDI licenses every insurance agent and agency operating in the state, reviews policy forms and rates, investigates complaints, and enforces the Texas Insurance Code. Consumers can verify an agency's license at the TDI agent lookup tool, file formal complaints about claims handling or coverage disputes, and access the TDI Consumer Help Line at 1-800-252-3439. All Texas insurance agents must complete pre-licensing education, pass a state exam, and maintain continuing education hours to retain their TDI license. Independent agencies like A-LA Auto Insurance — TDI License #3107286 — must hold an active TDI license to legally sell, negotiate, or solicit insurance policies anywhere in Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
