Agency history

The recorded history of insurance law in Texas and the predecessors of the Texas Department of Insurance date back to 1876 – the year Mark Twain published “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and Colorado became the 38th state. The constitution of Texas adopted that year authorized the Legislature to create the office of Insurance Commissioner when it deemed it necessary. Two years earlier, the state had made its first effort to regulate the insurance business in Texas. The state’s economy and population were growing, and wildcat insurance schemes were common. The 14th Legislature in 1874 passed a law regulating the life and health insurance business in the areas of company formation, activities and coverage.

Russell and Neighborhood are fantastic! Russell is the most accommodating escrow officer with a willingness to meet anywhere for the necessary closing items. In addition, he communicated with us through the entire process and truly felt like he was working with our best interest. Russell knows his stuff and spent hours with the lender getting the closing details perfectly aligned. The day of closing we knew exactly where we were in the process with his 5 checks. Would highly recommend Russell and Neighborhood Title.
