Texas Life Insurance Policy Types
You have a choice of 3 varieties of life insurance policies which can be found in Texas. These choices include:
- Term Life Insurance
- Whole Life Insurance
- Universal Life Insurance
One common feature you find with both the Term and Universal Life insurance policies is that you can get the policies for different terms of time such as anywhere from 5, 15, or 25 years for example.
Term life and Whole life insurance policies are pretty straightforward and the policy exists in one format for the life of the policy. Universal Life insurance, on the other hand gives you more latitude in how you set up the policy to suit your individual needs.
If, for example, you decided to structure your Universal Life policy with your full life span in mind, you have the option of either paying a set premium which offers you a guaranteed death benefit, or opting to design your policy benefits based on the growth of the cash value accumulation instead of the guaranteed benefits.

The reason is that some life insurance agents only represent certain life insurance companies or even only a single company which limits your choices. Shopping around is the best way to get most choices and the best deal.
