Insurance Alliance
  
Who We Are

Houstoun, Woodard & Associates, Inc. (1907)
D.L. Anderson & Company (1927)
Danvers, Eason & Gentle Insurance (1930)
A.M. Tomforde & Company (1932)

These four agenices merged in 1992 to create Insurance Alliance, one of the largest agencies in Houston. We've been together as Insurance Alliance since 1992. But our predecessor agencies - all of them prominent in Houston - date back much farther. One started in 1907, in fact.

The world's dramatically different than it was then, of course. And the pace of change has never seemed quicker than it is today. As emerging technology revolutionizes the way people live and conduct business, we'll continue to recognize and respond meaningfully to new possibilities. We'll help you find and maximize security, both personal and financial.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help people acknowledge and understand life’s uncertainties, and deliver the most effective products and services for managing, minimizing and transferring risk.
