Information on House Bill 1774
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) is receiving questions about House Bill 1774 from the last regular session. The legislation does not change how you file a claim or how your insurer will process your claim. Contact your insurance agent or company to file a claim.
House Bill 1774: - Does not apply to claims with the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA).
- Applies to claims made under an insurance policy providing coverage for real property, such as homes and other buildings. The legislation also applies to claims made under the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan Association.
- Requires policyholders to provide 61 days' notice before filing a lawsuit. The legislation also makes changes to the requirements for inspections related to a lawsuit, recovering attorney's fees, and statutory penalty interest.
