Title Agent Call for Experience Pursuant to the authority of Article 9.07(b) of the Texas Insurance Code (TIC), the Texas Department of Insurance requests that all Texas title insurance agents submit information relating to title insurance experience. Please submit your title insurance experience according to the instructions in the manual. No alterations of the exhibits will be permitted. Should it become necessary to explain any of the items reported, please do so in a separate written attachment. The Title Agent Call System (TACS) remains the same as the 2006 call. You are encouraged to submit your experience electronically using the TACS. Use of this program significantly reduces errors. Agents who have used the system in prior years have provided very positive feedback about the quality of the program. As an added incentive, you have an extra 2 weeks to complete the call if you use the program. Copies of the forms, TACS program and manual can be downloaded from the TDI website noted at the bottom of this Bulletin or can be mailed to you upon request.

Agency Type If your agency changed ownership during the past year which resulted in a change in agency type, report the agency type that represents the longest time span during 2006. If the time spans were equal, use the agency type from the earlier period. Agent/Underwriter Premium Split The agent/underwriter split of 85%:15% was in effect for the entirety of calendar year 2006.
