No application fee for military service members, militay veterans, or military spouses
Military members, veterans, and military spouses don't have to pay Texas insurance license application fees.
Nonresidents deployed in Texas can qualify for licensure by holding a similar license in good standing in another state and by submitting an application showing the relocation orders. When you apply for a Texas license, provide proof of Texas residency, your military identification, and your insurance license from your home state.
Email applications@tdi.texas.gov to ask for a copy of the application. It typically takes one business day to process.
