Texas Insurance Code - INS § 2206.302. Guaranteed Issuance of Initial Coverage; Risk Management

(a) Subject to Subsection (b), a school district or junior college district that applies for initial coverage through a pool is entitled to that coverage for a period of not less than one year, regardless of loss history. The board may approve a longer period for the initial coverage.

(b) For a school district or junior college district to obtain initial coverage, the board may require that the district participate in a risk management appraisal and comply with the recommendations resulting from the appraisal.

(c) If complying with the recommended risk management techniques resulting from the appraisal does not reduce the school district's or junior college district's losses during the initial coverage period sufficiently to meet the pool's underwriting standards, the board may deny the district subsequent coverage through the pool.

(d) The pool may assess a surcharge to a school district or junior college district covered during the initial coverage period if the district does not meet the basic underwriting guidelines for the pool.
