William Paul Davis, Jr.

Paul Davis, a native Texan, began his insurance career in 1966 after graduating from North Texas State University.

In the early stages of Paul's career, he was a claim representative for Crum & Forester Insurance Company. In 1969, he purchased a small local recording agency and after several successful years as an independent agent, Paul organized Texas Specialty Underwriters, Inc. TSU became operational in 1971 and specialized in long haul trucking.

As Texas Specialty Underwriters continued to develop into a successful operation and gained a strong financial position, Paul diversified. This led to a larger producing agency base and the need for more markets. In 1974, Paul was approved by the London Tribunal as a London Correspondent for Hogg Insurance Brokers Ltd. (now RFIB Group, Ltd).

The rapid growth of Texas Specialty Underwriters created the need for Paul to be in many places in short periods of time. As a licensed pilot, Paul utilized the corporate aircraft to assist in meeting these demands. Paul also uses the aircraft to assist producing agents with on-site risk evaluations and field inspections.

As owner and President of the corporation, Paul maintains an active role in financial management, underwriting and claims. Paul is active in industry trade associations and serves on numerous committees. He has served other Managing General Agencies as a management consultant. Paul has completed a term on the Board of Directors for the Surplus Lines Stamping Office of Texas and has served as President for the American Association of Managing General Agents.Paul is active in his community and has served as President of the Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations.
