Depopulation
In 2015, the 84th Texas Legislature, Regular Session passed Senate Bill (SB) 900 which authorized the creation of two new depopulation programs: a Voluntary Market Depopulation Program and an Assumption Reinsurance Depopulation Program. Designed to provide TWIA policyholders with alternative options for wind and hail insurance in the private market, both programs are completely voluntary. Learn more at twia.org/depopulation.
