| Questions | 145 questions (130 scored, 15 unscored pretest) Two parts, scored as one exam: a general Property and Casualty portion of 100 scored plus 10 pretest questions, and a Texas state-law portion of 30 scored plus 5 pretest questions. Pretest questions are mixed in, not identified, and do not count. The handbook says the score is not based on each part separately and prints no total, so 145 is computed from the two outline headings.

| Fees |
Only the TDI application fee is shown: it is printed both in the handbook and on TDI's current application page. The examination fee is not shown, because Pearson VUE's Texas page still links the October 2024 handbook as its newest edition and PrepPass could not confirm that fee against a 2026 document; check it when you book. The application must be submitted within one year of passing the exam. Fingerprinting is booked separately through IdentoGO and its fee is not printed in the handbook, so it is not shown here.

| Languages offered | English · Spanish The handbook's exam list carries an English form (InsTC-PC06, as the handbook prints the code) and a Spanish form (InsTC-PC26). TDI's application page points Spanish-speaking candidates to Pearson VUE for the Spanish content outline and the English as a Second Language (ESL) request form.
