TLIE Judges' Policy

TLIE has been offering professional liability insurance to Texas judges since 1983. All TLIE Judges' policies provide coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 aggregate, with a $1,000 deductible, for a reasonable flat rate.

Of course, judges have judicial immunity for their actions on the bench in their judicial capacity. However, many judges have duties that go beyond the scope of their "judicial capacity" such as administration of their courts and overseeing probation programs.

While district judges can choose to be defended by the Texas Attorney General's Office, not all judges have that option. In the event they are sued, the TLIE Judges' Policy provides our insured judges with the option of having private defense counsel hired to defend them.
