A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to notice of nonrenewal of a property and casualty
  insurance policy.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 551.105, Insurance Code, is amended to
  read as follows:
         Sec. 551.105.  NONRENEWAL OF POLICIES; NOTICE REQUIRED.
  Unless the insurer has mailed written notice of nonrenewal or
  renewal with written notice of change in coverage as provided by
  Section 2002.001 to the insured not later than the 60th [30th] day
  before the date on which the insurance policy expires, an insurer
  must renew an insurance policy, at the request of the insured, on
  the expiration of the policy. Notwithstanding the failure of an
  insurer to comply with this section, the policy shall terminate on
  the effective date of any replacement or succeeding insurance
  policy with another carrier with respect to the insured
  (a)  personal automobile, (b)  home, farm, ranch, dwelling,
  duplex, or apartment, or (c)  other real or personal property.
         SECTION 2.  The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
  an insurance policy that is delivered, issued for delivery, or
  renewed on or after January 1, 2024. A policy delivered, issued for
  delivery, or renewed before January 1, 2024, is governed by the law
  as it existed immediately before the effective date of this Act, and
  that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
