🛡️ Texas Department of Insurance Scraper

🚀 Pull every licensed Texas insurance agent and agency in seconds. Filter by license type, state, city, ZIP, name, or NPN. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) publishes one of the largest state insurance licensing files in the United States. Texas is the second-largest insurance market in the country, and every individual or business that sells, adjusts, or underwrites a policy in the state has to be licensed and renewed on file. That file covers life agents, property and casualty agents, adjusters, surplus lines brokers, public adjusters, title agencies, managing general agencies, and several other categories. This scraper turns the entire roster into a clean, queryable dataset.

Records include license numbers, National Producer Numbers (NPNs), license types, qualifications, issue and expiration dates, mailing city, state, and postal code, and active-status flags. Each query can target individual licensees (agents and adjusters) or organizational licensees (agencies and businesses). Server-side filters cut down the result set before any data crosses the wire, so a recruiter looking for active general lines agents in Houston or a compliance team auditing surplus lines brokers gets exactly what they need without paying to process the rest.

🎯 Target Audience	💼 Primary Use Cases

HR and staffing firms placing licensed talent	Verifying license status, type, and expiration
Compliance, audit, and regulatory teams	Monitoring portfolio license health across renewals

📋 What the Texas Department of Insurance Scraper does

• 🏷️ License-type filter. Pick from 29 agent license types or 21 agency license types and narrow to General Lines, Adjuster, Surplus Lines, Title Agency, and more.
• 🗺️ Geographic filter. Filter by state of mailing address, exact city, or ZIP code prefix to scope to a metro or region.
• 🔎 Direct lookup. Resolve a single license number or NPN to a full record in one call.
• 📛 Name search. Find every licensee whose name contains a substring, useful for individuals tied to multiple licenses.
• ⏳ Active-only switch. Skip expired licenses by default, or include them when you want a historical view.

Each record is a row in the TDI licensing system. It tells you who the licensee is, what they can sell or adjust, which Texas-recognized qualification backs that authority, when their license was issued, when it expires, where their address of record sits, and whether the license is currently active. Agency records add the organizational structure (Corporation, LLC, Sole Proprietor, etc.) and, for title agencies, the list of Texas counties they serve.

💡 Why it matters: Texas wrote over 200 billion dollars in direct insurance premiums in the most recent reporting year. The list of who is allowed to participate in that market is public, but the official lookup is one record at a time. Bulk access turns regulatory data into recruitment pipelines, audit trails, and market sizing.

⚠️ Good to Know: TDI mailing addresses are not always Texas addresses. A non-resident adjuster licensed in Texas may show an Ohio or Florida mailing address. Use the state filter on mailing state, not on jurisdiction of license.
