About Texas Lawyers Insurance Exchange (TLIE)

Since 1979, Texas Lawyers' Insurance Exchange (TLIE) has protected Texas lawyers with the best in professional liability insurance. Since then, commercial carriers have come and gone from Texas, but TLIE has been a consistent and stable source of high quality professional legal malpractice liability coverage at financially responsible rates for Texas lawyers and judges.

TLIE is owned by its member insureds and is operated by a member-elected board of directors. TLIE’s office is in Austin, Texas and its local presence uniquely aids TLIE in its understanding of the needs of Texas law firms, while supporting its “boots on the ground” mentality of promptly responding to and assisting member insureds navigating the challenges of practicing law.

Membership in TLIE starts with the purchase of one of its various insurance policy offerings. Once insured, member attorneys and law firms not only obtain broad insurance coverage, exceptional service and access to all key decision-makers within the company, but also access to extensive resources, including best-in-class loss prevention education provided through on-line and in-person CLE, weekly Top Tip emails, ethics assistance and a policyholder “hotline.” Of course, most members rave about their ability to receive year-end distributions – a return of excess profits not typically offered by TLIE’s competitors.
