If an agent moves from one state to another, within how many days must they notify TDI and provide proof of authorization to continue as a nonresident agent?

• A. Fifteen days
• B. Thirty days
• C. Forty-five days
• D. Sixty days

Answer: (B)

When a Texas nonresident agent changes their state of residence, they must promptly update the Texas Department of Insurance. The rule requires notification within 30 days of moving and delivery of proof that they are authorized to act as an agent in the new state. This ensures the agent’s licensing status is current and that they’re legally permitted to operate in the new state, while Texas keeps its records accurate and maintains proper regulatory oversight. If the agent fails to meet this 30-day window or to provide the new state's authorization, their nonresident status and the ability to practice could be affected.
