Texas Gov. Greg Abbott named Amanda Crawford Commissioner of Insurance to replace Cassie Brown. Brown retired after more than four years overseeing the Texas Department of Insurance. Crawford's term started on February 3.
As chief executive of the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), Crawford will oversee the regulation of the $293.9 billion Texas insurance market, the second largest in the nation and the fifth largest in the world. The agency regulates 3,447 companies and more than 983,411 agents and adjusters.
“I’m honored to serve as the next commissioner of insurance,” said Crawford. “TDI has a strong foundation, and I look forward to building on that work while strengthening our insurance markets and keeping Texas consumers at the center of every decision.”
Crawford started her more than 24 years of public service at the Office of the Attorney General, where she held various roles, including ultimately serving as general counsel and the deputy attorney general for administration. Most recently, she served as the executive director of the Texas Department of Information Resources and the chief information officer for the state of Texas.
Crawford graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and earned her law degree from the University of Houston Law Center.
