 Texas County Mutuals-Their Tradition and Their Future
TAIPA does not presently, and did not then, provide coverage for physical damage insurance nor for liability insurance greater than the minimum amount required by the Texas Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act.
The increasing role that county mutuals have played in Texas since the law was changed is due to a combination of inadequate rates in the voluntary market, compulsory financial responsibility laws (enacted in 1981), and increased use of consumer credit to finance automobile purchases creating a need for physical damage coverage on automobiles being financed.
TAIPA rates are set by the TDI and there have been times when TAIPA's rate inadequacies have been very costly to rate regulated insurers.
