Use & Purpose

This Manual is designed to assist in determination of the types of endorsements available in Texas and when an endorsement may be offered. The endorsements referenced in this Manual all have corresponding promulgated endorsement forms that must be used. In Texas, only endorsements and premium charges, if any, which have been promulgated by the Texas Department of Insurance may be issued and collected. These forms have been preprinted for the various brands and can be found on our website at: https://nationalagency.fnf.com/southwest.

The underwriting guidelines set forth in this Manual represent the Company’s minimum underwriting requirements associated with each endorsement considering the rules, regulations and laws in effect as of the date of this Manual. In addition to the guidelines contained in this Manual, you must adhere to the Company’s most current underwriting policies and procedures, as well as applicable laws, rules and regulations. The use of the Manual does not absolve your responsibility to obtain Overlimits Policy Authorization. Where Company policy or guidelines contained herein require approval from Regional Underwriting, such approval must be obtained and kept in the transaction file. Finally, the Company reserves the right to refuse issuance of a policy or endorsement despite adherence to the underwriting guidelines contained herein.
