The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers’ Compensation (TDI-DWC) approved the renewal of the Certificates of Authority for eight companies to self-insure for workers’ compensation claims for a one-year period under the TDI-DWC Self-Insurance Regulation program. These eight companies collectively employ approximately 23,380 employees in Texas.
Under Texas law, certain large, private companies can self-insure for workers’ compensation claims, while retaining the protection of the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act for the company and for its employees. To qualify, a company must have a minimum workers’ compensation insurance unmodified manual premium of $500,000 and meet other requirements subject to annual review.
The following eight companies received renewals of existing self-insurance certificates:
- Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, Beaumont
- Driver Pipeline Company Inc., Irving
- Johns Manville, Denver, Colo.
- Kiewit Corporation, Omaha, Neb.
- Leonard Family Corporation, San Antonio
- PPG Industries, Inc., Allison Park, Pa.
- Starbucks Corporation, Seattle, Wash.
- Trinity Mother Frances Health System, Tyler
