An endorsement is an amendment or addition to a title insurance policy. Endorsements cannot be issued except in connection with a title insurance policy. Endorsements increase the liability of the Company under the policy. Only the Company or its licensed Texas agent can issue an endorsement to the Company's policies.
The use of endorsements and the forms of endorsements are regulated in Texas. Only promulgated form can be used and many of the promulgated endorsements carry a promulgated premium.
