RE:
Title Insurance Guaranty Fees
Dear Associates:
From the TTIGA website:
Texas Title Insurance Guaranty Association
Guaranty Fees
Title Agents are required to collect the policy guarantee fee for each owners and loan (mortgagee) policy issued and remit that quarterly to TTIGA. The amount of the fee is set by TTIGA's Board of Directors and currently is $5.00 per policy. The board of directors of TTIGA recently voted to reduce the fee to $2.00 beginning January 1, 2012.
Section 2602.152 provides that the TTIGA board determines the amount of the guaranty fee.
