CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association board will consider a 5 percent across-the-board rate increase for residential and commercial policyholders when it meets here next month.

The TWIA Actuarial and Underwriting Committee voted 5-2 to recommend that rate hike on Tuesday in Austin, but the committee also left open the possibility of making a second recommendation.

The committee approved another motion allowing it to make that second recommendation on a rate hike in no later than three months.

That will give the committee time to review six specific categories of information one member had requested.
