Texas Windstorm Insurance Association
(TWIA) Certification
When Hurricane Celia struck the Texas coast on August 3, 1970, many insurance companies ceased to write business in this region. To protect consumers, the state stepped in and in 1971 created the Texas Catastrophe Property Insurance Association (now called the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association).
Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is a “pool” of all property and casualty (P&C) insurance companies authorized to write coverage in Texas. TWIA provides basic wind and hail insurance coverage for Gulf Coast property owners who might otherwise be left uninsured.
In order to work losses for TWIA, an adjuster must be licensed in Texas and working through an approved adjusting firm, as well as attend a yearly TWIA certification class. This training will also provide four (4) Continuing Education credits, through TWIA, toward renewal of your Texas Adjuster’s license.
If you have additional questions, please call the Amcat Education Center at 800-995-1433 ext. 232 to speak with Anne or ext. 234 for Misty.
