To whom must an insurance company send a notice of termination?

• A. The Commissioner of Insurance
• B. Texas Department of Insurance
• C. The State Board of Insurance
• D. Department of Financial Services

Answer: (B)

Regulatory actions like terminating a license or appointment are filed with the state’s insurance regulator. In Texas, that regulator is the Texas Department of Insurance, which maintains licensure records and oversees compliance. Sending the notice of termination to this department ensures the official records are updated and the action is properly tracked. The Commissioner of Insurance heads the department, but notices are directed to the department itself, not to the individual commissioner. The other options aren’t correct because there isn’t a separate Texas “State Board of Insurance,” and the Department of Financial Services is not the Texas insurance regulator.
