Card 1Which term does Texas forbid an agent to use when describing a plan that uses non-guaranteed elements to pay future premiums?

  1. Level premium
  2. Vanishing premium
  3. Flexible premium
  4. Modified premium schedule
Show answer

Vanishing premium. The illustration rule bans "vanish," "vanishing premium," or any similar term that implies the policy becomes paid up when the plan really depends on non-guaranteed values.

Card 2A policy pays a fixed amount for a covered event, such as $200 per day in the hospital, no matter what the actual charges are. Which benefit basis is this?

  1. Indemnity basis
  2. Reimbursement basis
  3. Service basis
  4. Capitation basis
Show answer

Indemnity basis. An indemnity basis pays a predetermined amount per covered event regardless of the actual cost.

Card 3Ben applied for a policy using a basic illustration, but the insurer issued it with a different rating class. What must come with the policy at delivery?

  1. A copy of the original illustration
  2. A new application for Ben to sign
  3. A signed "Revised Illustration"
  4. A letter explaining the new rate
Show answer

A signed "Revised Illustration". When a policy is issued other than as applied for, a revised basic illustration labeled "Revised Illustration" goes with the policy and is signed no later than delivery.

Questions

Is the Texas life and health course really free?

Yes. Create a free Encodr account and all 19 units and 1,101 cards are yours to study, with spaced repetition scheduling your reviews.

Is it up to date for 2026?

It was built from the Pearson VUE Texas Life and Health content outline effective September 1, 2026, and the Texas-specific cards cite the current Texas Insurance Code or TDI rule they come from.

Do I have to pass the general and Texas halves separately?

No. Per the Pearson VUE candidate handbook, the exam is scored as a whole: you need a scaled score of 70 across all 130 scored questions. The Texas half is only 30 of those questions, but they are dense, so the course gives Texas law four full units.

What is the difference between the Life Agent and the Life, Accident and Health license?

The Life Agent license (exam InsTX-Life01) covers life insurance and annuities only. The General Lines - Life, Accident and Health license covers life plus accident, health, disability and HMO products. This course targets the broader Life, Accident and Health exam.
