Tex. Ins. Code § 101.104 · Subchapter C. PROHIBITION; ENFORCEMENT
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) If the commissioner or department has reason to believe that a person, including an insurer, is performing an act described by Section 101.051 or 101.052, the commissioner or department may send the person or insurer a written request for information relating to that act.
(b) A person receiving an inquiry under Subsection (a) must respond to the inquiry in writing not later than the 15th day after the day the person receives the inquiry. If the department or commissioner receives written notice from the person that additional time is required to respond to the inquiry, the department or commissioner shall grant a 10-day extension of the time to respond to the inquiry.
(c) Failure of a person or insurer to provide the information requested constitutes a violation under this chapter and may be used as evidence to support the issuance of a cease and desist order under Chapter 83. The commissioner may adopt as findings of fact allegations made by the department in a hearing under Chapter 83 if the department sought information on the allegations from the person or insurer who is the respondent in the proceeding in a request for information and the person or insurer failed, wholly or partly, to respond to the request.
