Agents and brokers can now input policy limit information directly into the Surplus Line Stamping Office of Texas’ (SLTX’s) Electronic Filing System (EFS).

A new field has been added to the system to allow input of the highest aggregate limit on the policy, where only one number is required. The field is available for all new and renewal policies, binders, premium bearing endorsements, and updates.

Under Title 28 of the Texas Administrative Code 搂15.106, all surplus lines policy effective on or after 12/30/2018 must include limits. Agents and brokers who have previously submitted policy limits through the SLTX policy upload portal or by mail are not expected to input this information again.

Limits received by SLTX through the policy limit upload portal should be reflected in EFS over the next two weeks.

For those who file policies programmatically, the SLTX Programmer’s Technical Reference Guide has been updated to reflect the new field. Additionally, the SLTX Agent/User Guide has also been revised. These guides are available within the EFS portal under the Help section, Documentation tab. They are also available on the SLTX website, on the .
