Erath County records three insurance RFPs for 2026 and forwards them to broker
Summary
At a special Erath County Commissioners Court meeting Oct. 21, commissioners received three proposals for employee insurance benefits for budget year 2026 and turned the packets over to the county\'s broker, AINCO, for evaluation; no formal vote was recorded.
Erath County Commissioners Court on Tuesday received and recorded three proposals for insurance benefits for the 2026 budget year and handed the packets to the county\'s broker for review.
During the special session Oct. 21 in the county courthouse in Stephenville, an unnamed staff member opened the agenda item to receive and record requests for proposals. The staff member said the county had three packets: one from TAC, one from NonStop Health Renewal and one from Curative, and that the materials would be delivered to AINCO, the county\'s broker, for consolidation and presentation to the court.
The court did not specify a formal vote on the record. The staff member said, "We will now give these to AINCO, who is our broker, and they're gonna, like they have in the past, formulate them down, and then present this to us." No further action or timetable for AINCO\'s analysis was announced during the meeting.
Why it matters: Employee insurance is part of the county\'s annual budgeting process; forwarding competing proposals to a broker is a typical step for cost and coverage comparison before the commissioners decide on plan selection and budget allocation.
Background and next steps: The court listed the item on its agenda as "discussion and action to receive and record RFPs for insurance benefits for the budget year 2026." The transcript indicates the three packets were received and physically handed to AINCO during the meeting. The court did not record additional details about coverage changes, estimated costs, or whether any commissioners asked for further analysis. The staff member did not specify a date when AINCO would return with recommendations.
