Re:   Data call for 2020 property direct written premium in the Texas catastrophe area


Reporting Period: January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) issues the attached special data call, which is authorized by Insurance Code Section 2210.052.  

The data call is necessary to supplement TDI's statistical information and to enable the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association to calculate participation shares for assessments, should they be required in 2021. The data may also be used in 2022 before data for 2021 is available.

The data call is due no later than June 30, 2021.

Applicability

Your company must respond to this data call if it falls within one of the categories described below. A company subject to this data call must submit the data call form and affidavit to TDI even if the company does not write any applicable business in the Texas catastrophe area.

TDI will email this data call only to companies that fall into one of these categories:

Category 1: Companies reporting 2020 Texas commercial property or businessowners statistical data to TDI's commercial lines statistical agent, Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), under a minimum or limited reporting format that does not include place-code- or ZIP-code-level detail. This category specifically includes companies reporting under the TDI minimum reporting guidelines for commercial lines statistical reporting.

Category 2: Companies reporting 2020 Texas commercial property or businessowners statistical data to ISO, under a full reporting plan format in which all four quarters of 2020 data have not been fully accepted by ISO as of February 28, 2021. Companies in this category must report premiums for the entire year, not just the quarters of 2020 that ISO has not fully accepted.

Category 3: Farm mutual insurance companies acting as fronting insurers, as defined by Insurance Code Section 221.001(c), that wrote property insurance in 2020.
