The Texas Department of Insurance published a bulletin announcing an increase in the rates charged by the Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association (TAIPA) for private passengers and commercial auto insurance. TAIPA is the Texas residual market for automobile insurance; they provide insurance for applicants who have been denied by at least two Texas-authorized insurers.

TAIPA filed rates on March 12, 2024, which were approved by the commissioner of insurance. The overall rate increase is 15.0% for private passenger autos and 12.7% for commercial autos. The table below shows the increase in the base rate by coverage:
