The Texas Department of Insurance announced enforcement actions taken by Commissioner Mike Geeslin that became final during May. The actions include six license revocations, a license denial and fines and restitution totaling $77,232. Copies of Geeslin’s orders may be obtained by contacting TDI’s Public Information Office. Only final orders are listed. An order imposing disciplinary measures becomes final 20 days after the agent or insurance company has received notice of the order unless a motion for rehearing is filed within that period. A motion for rehearing stays the finality of an order until the Commissioner of Insurance acts upon the motion or upon the operation of law. Commissioner's orders are subject to appeal to state district court.
