Guidelines for Certificates of Insurance coverage published in Texas State

Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Certificate associated with insurance is really a document released by or with respect to an insurance provider to a 3rd party who hasn't contracted using the insurer to buy an insurance policy. The most typical type associated with certificate is actually that supplied for educational purposes in order to advise a 3rd party of the actual existence and quantity of insurance issued towards the named covered.


The process for requesting for certificates of insurance in United States



-      The digesting of demands for certification of insurance coverage is possibly the most troublesome job performed by insurance companies today. The duty can end up being time-consuming as well as labor-intensive. Otherwise handled correctly, the process can make significant E&O exposures for that agency. In many agencies, even the ones that issue a large number of certificates every year, the job is performed without extra compensation towards the agency

-      Certificate holders often ask for special text or distinctive forms as proof of insurance. When a real estate agent prepares a unique certificate type or utilizes special text, the real coverage supplied by the policy might be misrepresented or even obscured - either unintentionally or deliberately.

With these types of issues in your mind, the panel of directors from the Independent Insurance coverage agents of Texas sanctioned formation from the Task forces on Records of Insurance coverage in March 2006. The task force had been charged along with addressing difficulties encountered through independent brokers and their own customers by using certificates of insurance

Insurance coverage agents of Texas determine the following:


• Determining specific difficulties experienced through agents along with certificate make use of
• Determining the methods and needs imposed upon agents as well as customers through specific sectors
• Determining possible methods to those methods or needs which produce liability with regard to agents as well as customers
• Suggesting corporation along with other business groups to complete needed modifications

Rules and regulation concerning certification of insurance in Texas


What exactly are an agent’s lawful duties concerning certificates associated with insurance, so far as Texas regulation law and Texas Department associated with Insurance rules are concerned.

There isn't any specific regulation in Texas that adjusts certificates associated with insurance.

Within the Insurance portion of the Texas administrative Code, rule number 5. 203 demands certificates released for car insurance to involve the following statement or perhaps a statement that is substantially just like the subsequent:
-      This certification of insurance coverage neither affirmatively or even negatively amends, stretches, nor changes the protection afforded through any policy right here on.
-      This wording is definitely like the wording present in at minimum three locations about the standard ACORD certification form.

Upon September 8, 2006, the Texas Division of Insurance coverage issued Commissioner’s Bulletin no. B-0035-06.

With this bulletin, the Commissioner reminded insurance companies and agents that the certificate associated with insurance should clearly as well as accurately condition the insurance policy provided.

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Trailer Is Action-Packed And Harrowing

Wednesday, September 2, 2015



In the crowded post-apocalyptic teen dystopia marketplace, The Hunger Games is the undisputed champ. While they dropped a trailer for the latest installment, the series capping Mockingjay—Part 2, another similarly themed sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, also unveiled a new look, showcasing what these movies bring to the table. And in case you forgot, that is action piled on action. Check it out for yourself.





While The Hunger Games definitely features action, it also relies heavily on story, character, and atmosphere, among other elements, to create an expansive, well-rendered world and heroine. Reading James Dashner’s novels that serve as the source material for The Maze Runner movies, I remember not thinking much of them from a story or character perspective, but I remarked that they would probably make kick ass movies. Judging by the first movie, and this new Scorch Trials trailer, director Wes Ball and company have delivered on that front.

It’s really the pace and tempo that drive these movies, and the big action scenes and continual forward motion help smooth over any narrative gaps or weaknesses in the story. The first film focuses on Thomas (Dylan O’Brien, Teen Wolf), a young man who wakes up in a place called the Glade with no idea how he got there. Surrounded by high walls and an ever-changing maze full of monsters called Grievers, the Glade is populated by other teens in a similar state, all trying to find a way out.

The story does itself a favor by being self-contained like this, allowing the film to focus on this place and these people without having to worry about the bigger world outside just yet. You’re already engaged and familiar by the time you get to The Scorch Trials, which breaks the setting wide open. Here you, and the characters, are exposed to the world beyond the Glade, and as you can see, it’s all kinds of messed up. There’s the nefarious organization/corporation WCKD, the landscape is a burned out wasteland, and there’s some kind of vicious virus that turns everyone into monsters to contend with.

From what we see in this trailer, The Scorch Trials is basically a long string of action-packed, harrowing scenes designed to put Thomas and his friends in danger. They battle infected people, tussle with Aiden Gillen from Game of Thrones, and trek across the desolate badlands where they encounter a group of resistance fighters. There are even adults this time around (there’s really one in the first movie) and female characters (there are only two in the first: one who is barely there, and one who is barely written). This looks to have all of the things that made The Maze Runner a much bigger hit than many people expected last year, as well as providing something new in the form of an expanding world.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials hits theaters September 18. 

Watch Everything Wrong With The Sixth Sense In One Video


It’s now become the norm to poke and laugh at anything that M. Night Shyamalan tries his hand at behind the camera. To be fair to the naysayers, that’s only because he’s given them plenty of ammunition. But it shouldn’t be forgotten just how good his breakout Hollywood film was. In fact, The Sixth Sense is still a pop culture phenomenon to this day. That being said, there are still plenty of things wrong with it, as Cinema Sins have so helpfully noted for us.




Fair play to the good folks over at Cinema Sins, because while they were able to spot quite a number of flaws and errors with the film, they were also able to admit that it still deserves mad props for its revelations and spooky set-ups. 

Within the video, they make the very valid point that The Sixth Sense probably wouldn’t get made today. Not only because M. Night Shyamalan’s career is currently in a slump – more of that later – but because we have to wait 50 minutes to actually get to the jist of the plot. 

Not that that’s a bad thing though. In fact, It really is easy to forget how good The Sixth Sense is. Okay, it might falter with additional viewings as you become more and more obsessed with spotting how Shyamalan tricked you the first time round, but it is still undeniably spooky and compelling, while also featuring a stellar all round cast.

Heck, even Donnie Wahlberg, who is the man responsible for gunning down Bruce Willis’ Dr. Malcolm Crowe at the start of The Sixth Sense, before then turning the gun on himself, excels. But just about managing to wrestle the attention away from the founding member of New Kids On The Block is the leading quartet of Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette, and Olivia Williams. 

Hayley Joel Osment and Toni Collette would even go on to be nominated for Academy Awards in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories, while despite overseeing The Happening and Last Airbender, M. Night Shyamalan will always be able to tell the world that he’s a two-time Oscar nominee. 

As we all know, the last few years haven’t been great to the writer/director – with titles like The Lady In The Water, The Happening, The Last Airbender, and After Earth all doing their part to irretrievably damage his career. However, The Visit, which is due out later this month, is rumored to repair some of this damage, with many already calling it one of the scariest films of the year. We’ll see if that’s the case when The Visit is released on September 11th. 

5 Reasons Mad Max: Fury Road Was This Summer's Best Movie



Now that the summer has officially ended, movie fans are already amalgamating their best-of lists. And while the likes of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Inside Out, and The End Of The Tour each enthralled and wowed for a variety of reasons, nothing quite made the critical impact of Mad Max: Fury Road.

Already hailed as one of the greatest action films ever made, Mad Max: Fury Road is now available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray, which means you can now be blown away by George Miller’s bodacious spectacle in the comfort of your own home. To celebrate this release, and for those of you who haven’t already been convinced that Mad Max: Fury Road will make a worthy addition to your shelf, here are five reasons why you should purchase it immediately, and why it was the best movie of summer 2015. 

It Really Shouldn’t Have Been Made


George Miller was given $150 million to create Mad Max: Fury Road, and it still boggles the mind that Warner Bros. actually entrusted him with so much money to create his sensational garish blockbuster that is completely unlike its peers. The previous Mad Max instalment was released all the way back in 1985, while Miller’s recent successes had only come in the animation genre. Plus it was R-rated, was shot in the Namibia desert, and took over two and half years to edit together. 

All of this possibly should have given the folks at Warner Bros. pause about funding the film, but they continued to throw money behind it, and Miller’s full vision is up on the screen. Given how many reports we hear about studio meddling, kudos must be given for allowing the writer/director space to create Mad Max: Fury Road, and one could argue that it bodes very well for their work on the DC catalog. 


It’s A Sequel That Actually Builds Upon Its Predecessors


Back in 1981, George Miller’s Mad Max: The Road Warrior did a spectacular job building upon the world created in its lower budget 1979 predecessor, Mad Max. The same could even be said for 1985’s Beyond Thunderdome, which, despite its many, many foibles, had moments of rich storytelling and legitimately showed a different side of post-apocalyptic society. It’s truly in the tradition of this series for each sequel to add something more to the legend of the titular character, and the most recent chapter is no exception.

Taking what was seen before to extreme new levels, Mad Max: Fury Road built upon George Miller’s efforts in a more visceral and pulsating fashion, while it both semi-rebooted the character and alluded to Mad Max’s mythos. It also did all of this while taking advantage of technological advancements in cinema, which made it look slick, poetic, and luscious. 


It’s Gloriously Over-The-Top


Most modern mainstream directors try to make their characters and heroes as realistic and human as possible, but with Mad Max: Fury Road George Miller threw this approach out of the window and let it get trampled by Immortan Joe’s war party. Not only are the film’s characters wonderfully over the top and exaggerated, but their actions, interactions, and fashion are all delightfully distinctive and spectacular too. It all matches with the unbelievable and brilliant aesthetic that the filmmaker created more than 30 years ago, an it all pops thanks to truly amazing cinematography and terrifically bright and unique palette. 

In what other film/world are you going to see a cavalcade of oddly shaped weirdoes wasting water in their barren world while guzzling up fuel despite there being a shortage? And, of course, all of this is soundtracked by a deranged guitarist with fire sprouting out of his instrument! 



Simple Plot + Rounded Characters = Cinematic Triumph


Though its visuals and deranged characters may be wild and complex, Mad Max: Fury Road is still a wonderfully simple bit of storytelling. The plot is only instigated after Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa decides to turn left, and then it’s just a two-hour live action version of Catch The Pigeon.

In that ride, though, we’re brought up to speed with Imperator, Max, Nux, Immortan Joe and the five wives’ ambitions and desires – all helping movie-goers engage with the film on a deeper level and appreciate what’s going on. Each performer keeps their character both mysterious and relatable, and the increasingly bodacious action scenes are heightened because our uncomplicated rapport with them. It’s very simple storytelling that it outfitted with outlandish design, and the end result is beautiful and, in a word, mad. 


It Proves There Is Still Room For Originality In The Blockbuster


Admit it: you’ve been growing weary of the superhero machine for quite some time now. Don’t be ashamed, we all have been. That doesn’t mean that the genre still can’t prosper, but it also means that films like Mad Max: Fury Road are all the more refreshing. 

Mad Max: Fury Road not only proves/reminds us that summer, action spectacle can be created in a fresh, exhilarating, and relentless fashion, but that it can still be terrifically original too (despite the fact that it is itself part of a larger franchise). The film unquestionably looks like nothing that we’ve ever seen on the big screen before, and that element trickles down to the characterization and story and makes us really feel like we’re watching something special. It’s not exactly common for Hollywood to deliver movies that can be accurately described as just a two-hour chase scene – but that’s exactly what George Miller’s film delivers, and we’re incredibly thankful for it.
