About us

Built by people who know the trades, for Texas contractors.

Work Comp Texas is the Texas contractor division of Contractors Choice Agency — founded in 2005 by Josh Cotner, who knows what happens when wrong class codes blow up a WC audit or a slow certificate loses a job in Houston.

Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner ran equipment, read specs, and filed certificates before founding CCA in 2005. That background is why we understand what a Texas roofing contractor's WC should cost — and what the audit will find if the class codes are wrong.

2005

Contractors Choice Agency founded

Josh Cotner opens CCA in Chandler, AZ, after years working in the trades — built to insure contractors the right way.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

Contractor-first, always

Josh spent years in the trades before starting the agency. We speak the language of Texas contracting because we know what it costs when WC goes wrong at audit time.

Right class codes from the start

Wrong class codes mean overpayment and audit surprises. We classify your work correctly the first time so your WC rate reflects what you actually do.

A-rated markets only

We place Texas WC with A-rated (and A.M. Best A+ where possible) carriers so your certificate is accepted and your claims are paid.

Honest non-subscriber guidance

Texas's opt-out system is a real option for some contractors. We'll tell you honestly when it makes sense and when it doesn't — not just sell you a policy you might not need.
