The Texas adjuster license is ‘reciprocal’ in 32 states, making it the most versatile license for property claims adjusters.

The Texas adjuster license is commonly required by TPAs (third party administrator companies) as a prerequisite for employment.

It is important to note that ‘reciprocal’ does not mean that a home state license is not required. If you reside in a licensing state, you will need to first acquire your home state’s license; then get the Texas license.

Individuals with a Texas All-Lines Adjuster License may apply for a license in any of the reciprocal states. This is done by providing the appropriate paperwork, meeting the physical requirements (such as minimum age) and paying the required fees.

The benefit of reciprocity is that you do not have to complete a separate training course for each state.

IMPORTANT:  If you are NOT a Texas resident, and live in a licensing state, you must first obtain your resident license.

Licensing States vs. Non-Licensing States

Those living in non-licensing states (states that do not have licensing requirements for adjusters) may begin with a Texas non-resident license and then immediately benefit from reciprocity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: “Do I need a college degree to be an insurance adjuster?

A: No, it is not required that you have a degree to become a licensed Texas All-Lines Adjuster.

Q: “How do I complete the required 40 Hours, in only 3 Days, for the Texas All-Lines License?”

30 hours are required ‘in class’; 10 hours of ‘self-study’ are required before  class.  Training is scheduled from 8:00 am – 8:00 pm daily and includes time for meals and breaks.

[expand title=”Read more FAQs about becoming an insurance adjuster…(click here)”]

Q: “Do I Get My TX All-Lines License Immediately After Passing the Exam?”

A: No. You must then submit an application to the Texas Department of Insurance, pay the appropriate fees and satisfy the required background check. We will discuss these additional steps in class.

Questions? Call 972-837-8621.Choose 3-Day TX Licensing, 5-Day , or 7-Day options.

Q: “Will You Help Me Find Employment?”

A: We will provide a current list of adjuster firms that you will want to contact. It is your responsibility to follow up and get on their deployment rosters.

Q: “Is This A Career Option For Both Men And Women?”

A: Absolutely. Both women and men will find many opportunities as an insurance adjuster. The TX All-Lines License prepares you for entry into the insurance claims industry, where you may choose from many specialties: auto adjuster, residential property, commercial property, workmens comp, aviation, inland marine, etc.

Q: “What Skills & Abilities Do I Need To Be an Adjuster?”

A: Individuals with a background in construction, cleaning/restoration, property inspection services, and real estate are especially well-suited.

However, even without a construction or real estate background, don’t be discouraged. The necessary skills can be learned.

We promise to deliver practical, actionable training that prepares you for claims adjuster opportunities. If you do not have a construction or real estate background, we recommend the full ‘Pro Adjuster training’, which includes both ‘adjuster fundamentals’ and Xactimate® software training.

Q: “How Much Money Can I Earn As A Claims Adjuster?”

A: This is the question that we get most often. And quite honestly, it really depends on many factors. As an independent adjuster, you are paid on a fee bill schedule, per claim, by the TPA company. What this means is that time is money, especially in this business. More production=more income. You are not limited by a pre-determined salary.(Back to Top)
