Just for Agents

Workers' compensation is good for Texas —
and Texas Mutual is good for insurance agents.

Why sell workers' comp?

Workers' compensation is the only insurance that provides both medical and disability coverage for workers as well as legal protection for employers. Rather than patchwork together alternate coverage that can end up costing more and create gaps in protection, encourage your clients to carry workers' compensation. We offer eligible agents a competitive commission on each qualified policy written.

Dividends that lead to retention

Texas Mutual has distributed dividends to policyholders for 25 consecutive years, bringing the total payout to more than $4 billion. In 2023, we're distributing $340 million to Texas businesses. Agents across the state tell us that our dividend program helps them attract and retain customers. Through our individual and safety group dividends, your clients become policyholder owners and have the chance to reap the rewards of our success. 

Dividends give us and our agents the chance to reinforce a focus on safety, and to reward businesses that keep losses low. Though dividends are based on performance and not guaranteed, Texas Mutual has distributed them every year since 1999.*
