History

Established in 1986.

Woodard Insurance, LLP, was established in 1972 as Don Woodard Insurance. Don Woodard, Sr., began his career in the life insurance industry as an agent for Southwestern Life Insurance Co. of Dallas. In 1981, Don Woodard, Jr., became a career agent with Southwestern Life. In 1982, Blake Woodard began working for Don Woodard Insurance.

In 1986, Don Sr., Don Jr., and Blake formed a life insurance partnership called Woodard Insurance. This partnership was the first licensed life insurance partnership in the state of Texas. Life insurance partnerships were such a revolutionary idea that Woodard Insurance had to lobby the Texas Legislature and the Commissioner of Insurance (now the Texas Department of Insurance) to allow life insurance partnerships to be licensed.

On January 1, 2001, Blake Woodard bought out Don Woodard Jr.‘s interest in Woodard Insurance, LLP. Today, Blake Woodard and Don Woodard, Sr., are the two partners of Woodard Insurance, LLP.
