TEASERMarch 29 – April 5, 2026
5 APR 202601.Harding Conley in San Antonio swapped declining Zenith workers’ comp paper for a full AmTrust P&C suite (~$325M TX premium, mostly growing). Producer-confirmed. Highest-scoring event of the week.
02.Farmers/Foremost ran a 36-agency batch onboarding campaign while simultaneously terminating a long-tenured San Antonio agency. Network restructuring: expanding $187M in declining entities, cutting a $4.7B full-suite relationship.
03.Rust Ewing Watt & Haney in Texas City may be undergoing a generational transition. 8 of 13 producers contracting across 20–144 appointments each, while the agency added a full Utica National P&C suite.
04.State Auto (Liberty Mutual) legacy paper running off in East Texas. Negative premiums at Meridian Security, double-digit declines across the family. Confirmed at producer level.
TEASERMarch 22–28, 2026
29 MAR 202601.Chubb/ACE appointed two more Texas agencies (DFW, Austin) with identical entity slates, bringing the 2-week total to four agencies across four metros — a sustained carrier distribution push now evident across the state.
02.The Hartford terminated full P&C suites at two DFW agencies (Pro-Source, JGS Advisors) in a single run, which may signal production-minimum enforcement in that corridor.
03.Pflugerville Insurance Agency (Austin metro) lost a second unrelated carrier family with zero adds — extending the pattern flagged in Week 1, though both lost relationships had very stale appointments.
TEASERMarch 16–22, 2026
22 MAR 202601.A San Antonio agency (Versatile Insurance Planners) appears to have dissolved, losing 43 carrier appointments. Nationwide may have pre-appointed a replacement agency (Elias Insurance Solutions) in the same metro two days prior.
02.Chubb/ACE appointed at least two Texas agencies (Houston and El Paso) with identical entity slates in a 48-hour window, pointing to a coordinated distribution expansion.
03.Homesite Insurance batch-terminated 18 agencies in a single run — the largest single-carrier P&C block action this week.
