Survey of Texas Professional Inspectors
Regarding the E&O Insurance Requirement

Complete and return by December 1, 2007
texasinspectorsurvey@yahoo.com

Effective September 1st, 2007, all inspectors that renew their license must provide proof of E&O insurance coverage, even though TREC is still waiting for clarification of the type of insurance required by SB914. This survey is designed to get an idea of what effect this requirement will have on our industry. Your information will be compiled with the other responses and be available for viewing on the Champions Inspector Association website, at Champions Inspector Association (http://www.ciatx.org). Your personal information will not be posted, however, we ask that each inspector respond only once, and include your name and Inspector number for that purpose.

This is a WORD document. Please fill out your responses using WORD, save the document and email it to texasinspectorsurvey@yahoo.com. Double click inside the Yes/No boxes and click the “checked” button to show a checked box.

Please help us reach as many inspectors as possible by forwarding this to every inspector you are aware of. We need to receive this data before December 1st. Thank you in advance for your participation.
