Dec 17, 2020 | Procedural Updates

The Surplus Lines Stamping Office of Texas (SLTX) is pleased to announce upcoming updates to numerous coverage and class codes.  After significant analysis, changes were necessary to provide online filing users with a code selection the more accurately coincides with current industry language and products; with the goal to make the code selection a more obvious choice that more clearly matches policy documentation. The following SLTX Coverage and/ or Class codes have been added or have had updates to their description.  All other existing coverages and classifications remain unchanged unless specifically noted below.

SLTX will provide additional online learning materials, as necessary. SLTX tech support is currently working with automated filers to ensure their product code mappings are updated appropriately.
