B. 24 hours total with 3 ethics
C. 30 hours total with 3 ethics. [CORRECT]
D. 30 hours total with 5 ethics

Insurance Code and TDI regulations for license renewal.

Q3: A licensed Texas all lines adjuster fails to complete the required continuing education before
the license expiration date. What is the maximum penalty period during which the adjuster may
renew the license by paying a late fee and completing CE requirements?
A. 30 days
B. 90 days
C. 180 days [CORRECT]
D. 365 days
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Texas allows a 180-day grace period for license renewal with late fees and completion
of CE requirements. After 180 days, the license expires and the adjuster must reapply and retake
the licensing exam.
Q4: Under Texas Insurance Code, which of the following constitutes grounds for disciplinary
action against an adjuster's license?
A. Failing to maintain a physical office in Texas
B. Misappropriating settlement funds entrusted to the adjuster [CORRECT]
C. Refusing to handle claims for a particular insurance company
D. Charging a fee for claim investigation services
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Misappropriation of funds is a serious violation under Texas Insurance Code Chapter
4101 and can result in license suspension or revocation. Texas adjusters are not required to
maintain physical offices, may choose which companies to work for, and company adjusters
cannot charge fees (public adjusters can with proper contracts).
Q5: Which entity provides protection to Texas policyholders when an insurance company
becomes insolvent and unable to pay claims?
A. Texas Department of Insurance
B. Texas Windstorm Insurance Association
C. Texas Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association [CORRECT]

Rationale: The Texas Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association protects
policyholders and claimants against insurer insolvency by paying covered claims up to statutory
limits. It is funded by assessments on member insurers.
Q6: A Texas resident applies for an all lines adjuster license. Which of the following pre-
licensing requirements is mandatory?
A. Completion of a 40-hour pre-licensing course
B. Completion of a fingerprint background check [CORRECT]
C. Completion of 2 years of supervised apprenticeship
D. Obtaining a surety bond of $10,000
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Texas requires fingerprint-based background checks for all adjuster license applicants.
While pre-licensing education is recommended, Texas does not mandate a specific hour
requirement (unlike some states), and apprenticeships or bonds are not required for the license
itself.
Q7: Under Texas law, how long must an adjuster maintain records of each claim handled?
A. 2 years from the date of loss
B. 3 years from the date the claim is closed [CORRECT]
C. 5 years from the date of policy expiration
D. 7 years from the date of payment
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Texas Insurance Code requires adjusters to maintain claim files for at least 3 years
from the date the claim is closed. This ensures documentation is available for regulatory review
and potential disputes.
Q8: Which of the following actions by an adjuster would violate Texas Insurance Code regarding
appointment requirements?
A. Handling claims for an insurer without a valid appointment from that insurer [CORRECT]
B. Handling claims for multiple insurers simultaneously
C. Refusing to handle claims outside the adjuster's geographic area
D. Working as both a company adjuster and independent adjuster
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Texas requires adjusters to be appointed by each insurer they represent. Handling
claims without a valid appointment violates TDI regulations. Adjusters may work for multiple
insurers with proper appointments and may choose their work scope.
Q9: A Texas public adjuster contract must include which of the following provisions?
A. A provision allowing the public adjuster to settle claims without insured consent
B. A 10-day right of rescission for the insured [CORRECT]
C. A guarantee of minimum settlement amounts
D. A waiver of the insured's right to legal counsel
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Texas law requires public adjuster contracts to include a 10-day right of rescission,
allowing insureds to cancel without penalty. Public adjusters cannot settle without consent,
guarantee amounts, or waive legal rights.
Q10: Under Texas administrative rules, an adjuster must report to TDI within 30 days which of
the following events?
A. Change of residential address
B. Any administrative action taken against the adjuster's license in another jurisdiction
[CORRECT]
C. Completion of continuing education courses
D. Acceptance of employment with a new adjusting firm
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Adjusters must report any disciplinary action against their license in another
jurisdiction within 30 days. Address changes must be reported within 30 days, but CE
completion is reported through the provider, and employment changes do not require immediate
TDI notification.
Q11: Which of the following is TRUE regarding the Texas Department of Insurance's authority
over adjusters?
A. TDI has exclusive jurisdiction over all adjuster licensing matters [CORRECT]
B. TDI shares licensing authority with county governments
C. TDI regulates only company employee adjusters, not independent adjusters
