CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK [Abstract]

14.	CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company has exposure and remains liable in the event of an insolvency of one of its primary reinsurers. Management and its reinsurance intermediary regularly assess the credit quality and ratings of its reinsurer base companies.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, money market accounts on deposit with financial institutions, money market funds, certificates of deposit and fixed-maturity securities, as well as premium balance in the course of collection. At times, the Company's bank deposits may exceed the FDIC limit.

The concentration of credit risk with respect to premium balances in the course of collection is limited, due to the large number of insureds comprising the Company's customer base. However, substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from customers in Texas, which could be adversely affected by economic conditions, an increase in competition, or other environmental changes.
