Re: Indiana licensing needs an improvement
Texas currently has no insurance requirements of any kind for home inspectors. The subject does come up at just about every Inspector Committee meeting but so far no one has been able to demonstrate that a lack of a GL or E&O requirement is damaging the public.

At this point, insurance remains a personal business decision for each licensed inspector here in Texas. There is however a recovery fund operated by TREC that all licensees paid into when they got their license. This provides some "insurance-like" protection to the public but it does not protect the inspector. If the recovery fund has to pay out on behalf of an inspector then that inspector has to pay the fund back.
