Life insurance in Texas — honest, plain-English advice

Last updated: May 28, 2026 · Reviewed by Mark Snyder, NPN 22163900

Short answer: I’m a non-resident licensed life insurance agent in Texas (state license #348883, NPN 22163900). I write two products: indexed universal life (IUL) for permanent coverage with tax-advantaged cash value, and final expense / burial insurance for funeral and end-of-life costs. Multiple A-rated carriers. Plain English. No pressure.

Licensed non-resident agent in Texas — serving the entire state from Las Vegas. Whether you’re in a major metro or a smaller town, the process is the same — a short discovery call, an honest recommendation, and (if it’s a fit) a real carrier illustration or quote built around your age, health, and goals.

How Texas life insurance works with an independent agent

I’m not captive to one carrier. I compare multiple A-rated carriers and recommend the one that actually fits your situation — and if a product isn’t the right answer for you, I’ll tell you that too. The conversation is short, the math is plain, and you get real AG 49-B-compliant illustrations on IUL quotes, not marketing charts.

Coverage I write in Texas

Final expense & burial

A small whole-life policy ($5,000–$25,000) that covers your funeral, burial or cremation, and final bills. No medical exam on most plans. Locked-in rate for life.

Best for adults roughly 50–85 in Texas who want affordable, guaranteed coverage for end-of-life costs.

Indexed universal life (IUL)

Permanent life insurance with tax-advantaged cash-value growth, a contractual floor against market losses, and flexible premiums. AG 49-B-compliant illustrations only.

Great for Texas residents who want permanent coverage plus tax-advantaged growth as an additional bucket.

Yes — non-resident licensed life insurance agent in Texas, state license #348883, NPN 22163900. Verifiable through NIPR.com or the Texas Department of Insurance.

Do I have to meet in person?

No. The full process — discovery call, illustration delivery, application, underwriting, and approval — is done by phone, video call, and email. It’s faster and means you can compare carriers on your own time.

What carriers do you work with?

Multiple A-rated carriers. The specific recommendation depends on your age, health, and coverage goal — I’ll name the carriers and the reasoning on the call.

How long does it take to get approved?

For final expense (no medical exam): often same-day to a few business days. For IUL: the carrier illustration usually comes within one business day of our call; full underwriting typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on age and health.
