Al Thurmond Agency is an independent insurance agency based in Houston, Texas that provides complete insurance service for businesses as well as life & disability insurance for individuals. The agency was founded in 1973 by Al Thurmond Senior who transitioned into the insurance industry after being a high school football coach at Spring Branch High School and Spring Woods High School for many years.

The agency was initially focused solely on property and casualty insurance, but with the addition of Al Senior’s sons, Al and Mark, the agency expanded into employee benefits in the early 1980s enabling the agency to handle all client’s insurance needs. Al and Mark assumed leadership in 1986 and have successfully grown the business to what it is today. The third generation consisting of Al’s daughter, Tracy Thurmond DeBoer, and Mark’s son, Mark Thurmond II (Matt) are also continuing the legacy started by Al Senior. They bring generational knowledge and continue to find creative ways to serve new and existing clients.
