INSURANCE CLAIMS
Your Right to Choose a Repair Shop in Texas
Did you know you have the legal right to choose your repair shop for insurance claims? Many insurance companies may try to steer you toward their "preferred" or "in-network" vendors, but Texas law protects your freedom to make the best choice for your vehicle. At DentOut, we ensure you receive high-quality repairs while respecting your rights
1. RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR REPAIR FACILITY

2. PROHIBITION AGAINST STEERING
Per Texas Insurance Code, Section 1952.302, insurance companies, their employees, agents, or adjusters cannot:

Insurers are required by law (Texas Administrative Code, Title 28, Section 5.501) to inform you of your rights, including:
- The freedom to select the repair facility of your choice.
