When does the term for the Commissioner of Insurance end?

The term for the Commissioner of Insurance ends on February 1 of odd-numbered years. This timing aligns with the legislative cycle in Texas, where many state officials have terms that conclude in coordination with the legislative sessions held every two years. The specific end date of February 1 ensures that there’s an appropriate transition time for the incoming commissioner, allowing for any necessary preparations before the start of the new legislative session later that month. This structured approach supports continuity in leadership and governance within the Texas Department of Insurance. Understanding this timing is essential for ensuring compliance and awareness of leadership changes within the insurance regulatory framework in Texas.
