Our Story
From grassroots beginnings to a third-generation Texas establishment.
Built upon a legacy of service, Time Insurance Agency is a family-owned and operated independent insurance agency that provides personal, commercial, life & health, specialty insurance and bonds in Texas.
​
Time Insurance Agency was founded in 1961 by John P. Schuler, a retired Navy Pilot. His son, John W. Schuler, took over the agency for his father in 1988 with the same commitment to exceptional customer service. Now, the third generation of Schulers has taken the reins and is redefining insurance with modern tools and placing a premium on transparency and convenience while maintaining our dedication to client service. We believe in customer satisfaction and are committed to delivering just that every time. As a locally owned insurance agency, it's Time's lack of bureaucracy that allows us to respond quickly to changes in our clients' needs.
Your insurance shouldn't be complicated, we make it simple. We will find the policy tailored just for you and your needs. As an independent insurance agency, we can offer you a wide selection of carriers and a variety of plans from auto and homeowners to commercial liability and errors & omissions coverage. Time Insurance Agency has been providing coverage for the special risk industry for over 60 years.
