SMS Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: June 2026

Program Description

TCDS Insurance Agency uses SMS text messaging to communicate with prospective and existing clients about insurance quotes, policies, claims, and account servicing. Messages are sent by licensed agents and authorized staff of TCDS Insurance Agency.

How You Opt In

You consent to receive SMS messages from TCDS Insurance Agency when you:

  • Submit a quote request, contact form, or any other form on tcdsagency.com that includes a phone number
  • Provide your mobile number to a TCDS agent during a phone call or in person
  • Reply to a TCDS message with consent language (such as YES or START)

Consent is not a condition of purchase. You may obtain insurance quotes or service from TCDS without opting in to SMS.

Types of Messages You May Receive

  • Quote confirmations and follow-up messages from a licensed agent
  • Policy reminders, renewals, and document delivery notifications
  • Claims status updates and assistance
  • Appointment confirmations and scheduling
  • Account servicing and customer support replies

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your relationship with us and your account activity. Most recipients receive between 2 and 6 messages per month. Frequency may temporarily increase during active quote conversations, claims handling, or policy renewals.

How to Opt Out

You can stop receiving SMS messages from TCDS Insurance Agency at any time by replying with any of the following keywords to any TCDS message:

  • STOP
  • END
  • CANCEL
