Governor Abbott appointed Kent Sullivan to be the new Texas Commissioner of Insurance for a term to expire February 1, 2019.  Commissioner Sullivan has impressive qualifications and experience, and we look forward to his 25 years of private practice experience, his prior service as a justice on the Fourteenth Court of Appeals and his practical experience as a state district court judge being a positive influence on the insurance industry in Texas.

DWC brought Tim Riley on as Deputy Commissioner of Compliance and Investigations.  We first met Tim – more years ago than we want to admit– when he represented the old TWCC  doing hearings on medical cases before he went over to Texas Mutual to be vice president of Special Investigations.  We expect that the agency’s newly created Compliance and Investigations program area will benefit greatly from his vast and effective experience in enforcement efforts and criminal prosecutions.
