Texas Appleseed

Texas Appleseed works to change unjust laws and policies that prevent Texans from realizing their full potential

Texas must streamline the record-clearing process! Over 96% of cases eligible to be deleted from one’s record are dismissals that never resulted in a guilty charge.

Both chambers at the Texas State Legislature have flagged insurance affordability for review in their interim charges. We hope policymakers can create a solution to solve the car insurance affordability crisis.

🧵.@HoustonPubMedia reporter @ASchneider_HPM covers research from @texasappleseed and United Way of Greater Houston about car insurance affordability conducted in a focus group in Harris County. https://t.co/mdUkyVmVhL

Zip code, gender, marital status, and credit score all play an outsized role in setting insurance rates rather than one’s driving record.

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

Most focus group participants agreed that the cost of car insurance was too high, and affordable options were not generally available. Our new report shares car insurance data & thoughts from Harris County residents

“In Texas, some insurers charge people with poor credit up to 12 times as much as people with excellent credit for certain policies.” – Ann Baddour, @TexasAppleseed Fair Financial Services Director quoted in @nytimes article by @hclaire_brown and @rjnskl https://t.co/eeNbbuUSPi

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

Home insurance rates shouldn’t be determined on credit history, and credit scores are low for many reasons – a medical crisis, a job loss, a divorce, or an expensive appliance repair.

Have you ever had a home or auto policy declined, cancelled, or not renewed without any explanation by an insurer in Texas?

That now changes with HB 2067.

The law is now in effect.

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

It requires insurers to put in writing as to why they denied, cancelled or didn’t renew your policy.

It gives you a chance to fix the issues with your home or car — and to keep them insurable.

[Texas Fair Lending Alliance @TXFairLending]

“People resorting to payday loans solve a problem today, but the loans make things worse in the future,” Baddour said. "These are loans that are set up for failure."

Payday loans are predatory and disproportionately hurt communities of color. Texas needs to regulate them.
