Due to the Texas Department of Insurance's P-53 ruling that went into effect April 1st, 2004, title companies had to cease all marketing assistance that was afforded to Real Estate agents throughout Texas. Since this ruling has taken effect, there have been many new businesses and departments that have appeared to fill the void left by P-53's effect on real estate marketing.
