Why Some Agents Choose Property & Casualty First in Texas

Thinking about getting your insurance license in Texas? You’re not alone. Among the two major insurance license types—Life & Health (L&H) and Property & Casualty (P&C)—many new agents in Texas start with Property & Casualty. But why?

Whether you're a recruiter-guided newcomer or a career switcher looking for steady income, starting with P&C can be a strategic choice. Here's what makes it a smart first step—and how to get started.

What is Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance?

Property and Casualty insurance covers:

  • Property: protection for homes, businesses, or belongings.

  • Casualty: liability coverage in case of damage or injury to others.

Standard policies include auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, and commercial liability.

Unlike Life & Health, which often requires more personalized sales skills and long sales cycles, P&C policies are more transactional and often required by law, like auto coverage in Texas.

Why Texas Agents Often Choose P&C First

High Job Availability

Texas has one of the largest property and casualty (P&C) insurance markets in the country. There’s constant demand for:

  • Claims adjusters

  • Customer service representatives

  • Sales agents

Lower Startup Risk

New agents can earn a stable income quickly with less pressure to build a client book. P&C roles are often either hourly or salary-based, making them great for those who want to learn the ropes before diving into commissions.

  • More job openings

  • Faster to complete

  • Easier career entry
