Texas Watch Applauds White for Stance on Home Insurance Reform
Texas Watch, the state's leading organization on homeowners insurance issues, applauded gubernatorial candidate Bill White for his announcement today that if elected he will work to enact legislation to require home insurance companies to justify their rates. White committed to pursuing homeowners insurance reform during next year's legislative session.
"Texas homeowners have been beaten up by the insurance industry for too long, paying 76% more than the national average. We applaud Bill White for committing to support real insurance reform," said Alex Winslow, executive director of Texas Watch. "Texans need comprehensive homeowners insurance reform. Requiring insurance companies to justify their rates is a key part of ensuring that rates are fair and coverage is adequate for all Texans."
