If you're thinking about becoming a Texas adjuster, you're probably wondering how much it's going to cost you to get your license. Well, I'm here to tell you that the answer is not as simple as you might think.
The Short Answer
The short answer is that the cost of a Texas adjuster license varies depending on a few factors, including:
- Whether you're applying for a new license or renewing an existing one
- The type of adjuster license you're applying for (e.g., property, casualty, general)

The Long Answer
If you're looking for a more detailed answer, here's a breakdown of the costs involved in getting a Texas adjuster license:
Application Fees
The first cost you'll need to consider is the application fee. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) charges a non-refundable application fee of $100 for new licenses and $50 for renewals.
Pre-Licensing Courses
If you don't already have the required education and experience, you'll need to take some pre-licensing courses. The cost of these courses will vary depending on the provider and the type of license you're applying for. However, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $500 for a pre-licensing course.
Exam Fees
Once you've completed your pre-licensing courses, you'll need to take the Texas Adjuster Licensing Exam. The exam fee is $75.

So, how much will it cost you to get a Texas adjuster license in total? Well, it depends. But you can expect to pay somewhere between $375 and $1,000.
A Few Other Things to Keep in Mind
