THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

System Risk Management

To Whom It May Concern:

The above-mentioned Member of The Texas A&M University System has requested we provide you with information regarding the insurance provisions of The Texas A&M University System.

The Texas A&M University System is self-insured for Workers' Compensation Insurance provided by Chapter 502 of the Texas Labor Code. Benefits are provided in accordance with the provisions of that law.

State-owned vehicles of universities and agencies of the Texas A&M University System are exempt from compulsory liability insurance requirements of the State of Texas. This exemption appears in Subtitle D Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility; Chapter 601 Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act; Subchapter A General Provisions; Section 007 Applicability of Chapter to Government Vehicle.

The liability of The Texas A&M University System for personal injury and property damage is controlled by the Texas Tort Claims Act, V.T.C.A. Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 101, Section 101.021. The limits of liability are $250,000 for each person, $500,000 for each single occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence for injury to or destruction of property. Following this limited exposure, the System as a state agency, is protected by the doctrine of sovereign immunity, and as such, is self-insured up to the aforementioned limits.

We trust the above information will provide the necessary insurance information needed by your organization. If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know.

Sincerely, Charles A. Longoria, CRM Director of Risk Management
