Why C is correct
Under TIC 4001.252, a license holder must notify TDI of a change of address, including the mailing address, email address and principal business location, so that TDI can deliver renewal notices and other official correspondence. Reporting the change to appointing insurers does not satisfy the statutory duty, and a move within Texas does not require a new license because a Texas agent license is effective statewide rather than county by county.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) TDI, not the appointing insurers, is the party entitled to receive the notice of a change of address.
- B) The duty to report runs from the change itself, not from the next renewal cycle.
- D) A Texas license is statewide; an in-state move does not invalidate it or require a new application.
Memory hook
Move, then tell TDI — the address on file is how your renewal finds you.
