About Texas FAIR Plan Association

The Texas FAIR Plan Association (TFPA) was created by an act of the Texas Legislature (Chapter 2211, Tex. Ins. Code) for the purpose of providing basic residential property insurance to applicants who cannot secure coverage in the voluntary market.

Although TFPA is considered a market of last resort, applications submitted for coverage are subject to underwriting guidelines for characteristics of ownership, condition, occupancy, maintenance, and liability exposure. Properties owned/deeded in the name of a business (corporation, partnership, association, LLP, LLC, etc.) and vacant/unoccupied properties are not eligible for coverage with TFPA.

TFPA does not sell policies directly to the public and does not have agents of its own.
