,Q1. In Texas, an insured under a Homeowners HO-B policy sustains a covered fire
loss to the dwelling. The insurer issues a payment for actual cash value (ACV) at the
time of loss. Under the Texas Standard Homeowner Policy, when must the insurer
pay the replacement cost (RC) difference, and what condition precedent must be met?
A. Immediately upon request, if the insured files a proof of loss within 60 days.
B. Only after the insured has repaired or replaced the damaged property and submitted
proof of the actual incurred costs.
C. Within 30 days of the insurer's receipt of the sworn proof of loss, regardless of
repair status.
D. At the insurer's discretion, but no later than 180 days after the loss date.
Correct Answer: B. Only after the insured has repaired or replaced the damaged
property and submitted proof of the actual incurred costs.
Rationale: Under the Texas Standard Homeowner Policy, replacement cost coverage is
contingent on the insured actually repairing or replacing the damaged property. The
insurer is obligated to pay only the ACV initially, and the withheld depreciation becomes
payable once the insured completes the repairs and provides documentation of the actual
costs incurred. This condition precedent ensures the insurer does not pay RC for property
that is not restored.
Why Wrong:
A - This is incorrect because the policy does not require immediate RC payment
merely upon proof of loss; actual repair or replacement is required.
C - This is incorrect because the 30-day payment deadline applies to undisputed
claims, not to the RC holdback which is conditioned on repair.
D - This is incorrect because the insurer cannot arbitrarily delay; the condition is the
insured's completion of repairs, not a set time limit.
Reference: Texas Standard Homeowner Policy, Conditions - Replacement Cost
Q2. A commercial general liability policy with a $1,000,000 per occurrence limit and
a $2,000,000 general aggregate is triggered by a single occurrence that causes
property damage to three separate claimants. The insurer pays $700,000 to claimant
A, $500,000 to claimant B, and $400,000 to claimant C. What is the remaining general
aggregate limit, and which clause governs the reduction?
A. $400,000, because the per occurrence limit is exhausted and the aggregate is
reduced by the sum of all payments.
B. $400,000, because the general aggregate is reduced by the total of all damages paid,
and the per occurrence limit applies separately to each claimant.
C. $1,600,000, because the general aggregate is only reduced by the amount exceeding
the per occurrence limit.
D. $0, because the total paid ($1,600,000) exceeds the per occurrence limit, triggering
the aggregate exhaustion.
Page 3
, Correct Answer: B. $400,000, because the general aggregate is reduced by the total of
all damages paid, and the per occurrence limit applies separately to each claimant.
Rationale: The general aggregate limit is the maximum the insurer will pay for all covered
damages during the policy period, and it is reduced by the total amount of damages paid.
Since the total paid is $1,600,000, the remaining aggregate is $400,000. The per
occurrence limit applies to each occurrence, but here all damages arose from a single
occurrence, so the per occurrence limit of $1,000,000 is actually exhausted, but the
aggregate is a separate limit that is also reduced.
Why Wrong:
A - This is incorrect because it incorrectly states the per occurrence limit is exhausted
and implies the aggregate reduction is different; the aggregate is reduced by the full
$1,600,000.
C - This is incorrect because the aggregate is reduced by all payments, not just the
excess over the per occurrence limit.
D - This is incorrect because the aggregate is not automatically exhausted when total
payments exceed the per occurrence limit; it is reduced by the total paid.

Q3. Under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, an insurer that fails to timely pay
a valid claim may be liable for additional damages, interest, and attorney's fees. What
is the statutory interest rate applicable to a claim that becomes overdue after the
60-day deadline?
A. The rate established by the Texas Finance Commission, currently 18% per annum.
B. The rate equal to the prime rate plus 5% per annum, as published by the Federal
Reserve.
C. The rate of 10% per annum simple interest, as set in the Texas Insurance Code.
D. The rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly, as specified in the Texas Prompt
Payment of Claims Act.
Correct Answer: A. The rate established by the Texas Finance Commission, currently
18% per annum.
Rationale: Under the Texas Insurance Code (Chapter 542, Prompt Payment of Claims), if
an insurer delays payment beyond the statutory deadline, it owes interest on the amount of
the claim at the rate set by the Texas Finance Commission, which is currently 18% per
annum. This is a punitive measure to encourage timely payment and is distinct from
general prejudgment interest.
Why Wrong:
B - This is incorrect because the statutory rate is not tied to the prime rate; it is a fixed
rate set by the Texas Finance Commission.
C - This is incorrect because the rate is not 10% simple interest; that is a common rate
for other obligations, but not for insurance claims.
