Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) offers a Resident, Non-Resident and Designated Home State license for adjusters. Except in certain cases, you must either pass the state license exam or complete a pre-licensing course approved by TDI and pass the course exam. Completing CATI’s pre-licensing course fulfills that requirement.
Resident: If you are a legal resident of Texas, you must pass the exam or complete the pre-license course in order to obtain a license to adjust claims in the state.
Non-Resident: If you are not a Texas resident and your home state requires a license, you must obtain a Non-Resident license to adjust claims in Texas.
- If your state is reciprocal with Texas, you must obtain your home state license first, and then apply for your Texas Non-Resident license. You will not need to take an exam or complete a pre-licensing course.
- If your home state is not reciprocal with Texas, you must obtain your home state license first and then pass the Texas license exam or complete a pre-licensing course like CATI’s.
Designated Home State: If you are not a Texas resident and your home state does not require a license, you may apply for a Designated Home State license in Texas after passing the exam or completing a pre-licensing course like CATI’s.
