Texas Department Insurance News

Dr. Jimenez Texas Department Insurance News. The Texas Department of Insurance regulates insurers and other companies that conduct insurance business in Texas and assists Texas-based insurance consumers. Texas Department Insurance news was founded in 1876 as the Department of Insurance, Statistics, and History.

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) Fraud Unit is the state law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing fraudulent insurance acts. In the United States, insurance fraud is the second most costly white-collar crime, next to tax evasion. TDI Fraud Unit criminal investigators work on various cases, such as claimant fraud, workers’ compensation fraud, insurer fraud, life settlement fraud, and mortgage fraud.

TDI Fraud Unit criminal investigators are licensed state of Texas peace officers with full state police powers (armed, make arrests, and conduct investigations into violation of state laws) and have statewide jurisdiction.

Fraud Unit criminal investigators specialize in financial crime and regularly conduct joint investigations with city, county, other states (DPS, Attorney General’s Office), and federal law enforcement (FBI, IRS-CID, United States Postal Inspection Service, US Government OIGs, etc.), and other government agencies.

Once a TDI Fraud Unit criminal investigator has completed a criminal investigation, the case is referred to a County, District, and/or U.S. Attorney to seek indictment and prosecution. The TDI Fraud Unit employs criminal investigators, prosecutors, and crime analysts.
