Opting out doesn’t mean opting out of responsibility.
In Texas, employers can choose whether to participate in workers’ comp — but workplace injuries still happen, and the financial impact can be significant. Texas non-subscriber coverage helps your clients build a smarter backstop for on-the-job risk, so one serious incident doesn’t become a business-defining event.
Now offered through Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions (ASCS), our Jackson Lloyd Texas Non-subscriber program gives employers a clearer path forward, offering practical, purpose-built protection for work-related incidents – all written on A+ paper and backed by the leader in occupational loss protection.

THIS IS NOT A DESCRIPTION OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE. THE EMPLOYER DOES NOT BECOME A SUBSCRIBER TO THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION SYSTEM BY PURCHASING THE POLICY DESCRIBED IN THIS BROCHURE, AND IF THE EMPLOYER IS A NON-SUBSCRIBER, THE EMPLOYER LOSES THOSE BENEFITS WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE UNDER THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAWS. THE EMPLOYER MUST COMPLY WITH THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAW AS IT PERTAINS TO NONSUBSCRIBERS AND THE REQUIRED NOTIFICATIONS THAT MUST BE FILED AND POSTED.
