Digest
HB 3454 amends the Texas Occupations Code to hold insurance companies liable for fees owed to vehicle storage facilities when they pay a total loss claim on personal property stored at such a facility. The bill ensures that insurance companies are responsible for costs related to the delivery, storage, and disposal of the property, regardless of whether those costs accrued before the claim was paid. This provision applies to property accepted for storage on or after the bill’s effective date.
