About Us
As one of the oldest agencies in Texas, we have been advising on risk and providing insurance and bonding solutions for over a century. Throughout our history, quite a lot has changed. What hasn't changed is the philosophy that our greatest asset is our employees. The average years of service for our personnel is over 15 years with some being with the agency for nearly 40 years. While we've seen many of our peer agencies sell to larger organizations, we have stayed the course of being 100% locally owned to provide you with the accessibility and service of a truly independent insurance agency. We've certainly come along way since 1883 and we owe much of our success to the steadfast relationships we have with our employees, clients, and carrier partners.
We have offices in San Angelo and San Antonio, Texas and are licensed in over 30 states to serve the needs of our clients whose business takes them far away from home or has a business far away from our home. Our resources allow us to advise clients on many issues including, but not limited to, Workers Compensation Statutes, license and permit requirements, Statute of Repose for construction contracts, and labor environment inside and outside of Texas.
