Find a Forney Public Adjuster Near You

Forney has grown faster than almost any city in Kaufman County, and so has the cost of protecting a home here. Sitting on the eastern edge of North Texas hail alley, Forney property owners face hail, straight-line wind, tornado, and hard-freeze damage year after year. When your carrier's offer doesn't match the damage on your roof, a Forney Public Adjuster can help.

What is a Public Adjuster?

A Public Adjuster is a licensed insurance claim expert hired by you—the policyholder—not by your insurance company. A Forney Public Adjuster will inspect your property, document the damage, interpret your policy language, build a line-item estimate, and negotiate directly with your carrier. Under Texas Insurance Code § 4102.111, a Public Adjuster acts in a fiduciary capacity, meaning their legal duty runs to you and no one else.

Are Texas Public Adjusters licensed?

Yes. Texas Insurance Code Chapter 4102 requires anyone adjusting claims on your behalf in Forney to hold a Texas Public Insurance Adjuster license issued by the Texas Department of Insurance. License holders pass a state exam, maintain proof of financial responsibility through a surety bond or errors-and-omissions policy, and complete continuing education every renewal period. You can verify any license for free through the TDI license lookup before you sign anything.

How much does a Forney Public Adjuster cost?

Texas caps a Public Adjuster's total commission at 10% of the insurance settlement on the claim under § 4102.104. Fees are contingency-based, so nothing comes out of pocket—you don't pay until your carrier pays you.

What does a Forney Public Adjuster actually do? They take the claim off your plate and fight for the full settlement.

Your Public Adjuster files the claim, handles carrier communication, and negotiates on your behalf.

Texas law requires a written, state-approved contract before any Public Adjuster starts work on your claim.

Forney sits in hail alley, and roof damage is the most disputed claim type in North Texas.

A Public Adjuster cannot repair your property—that separation is what keeps them honest.

Before a Forney Public Adjuster can act on your behalf, Texas Insurance Code § 4102.103 requires a written contract on a form approved by the Insurance Commissioner. That contract must display the notice "WE REPRESENT THE INSURED ONLY" and must give you the right to cancel in writing within 72 hours of signing, for any reason. If someone wants to start working your claim on a handshake, walk away.

Hail, wind, and tornado losses drive the majority of Kaufman County property claims, and roof damage is where carriers push back hardest—cosmetic-damage exclusions, actual cash value depreciation, and disputed hail size all reduce what you're offered. A Forney Public Adjuster documents the loss to the same standard your carrier does, so the conversation starts with evidence instead of opinion.

Under § 4102.158, a Texas Public Adjuster may not participate in the repair or restoration of the property they're adjusting, and § 4102.163 bars roofing contractors from adjusting claims on roofs they may work on. If a contractor offers to "handle your claim," that's a red flag under Texas law.
