ABOUT US
DETSIF History
Formed in 1974, Deep East Texas Self Insurance Fund (DETSIF) was created by a core group of East Texas Governmental Entities to provide workers’ compensation coverage to their employees. DETSIF has performed just as planned by its founding members for nearly fifty years, while slowly expanding our membership to every corner of the state.
DETSIF is governed and controlled by its membership. Our Board meets monthly to assist management in the operation of the Fund. There is no commercial interest in the background and all assets are owned and controlled by the membership for the benefit of the members.
DETSIF is proud to have a competent, knowledgeable staff that is dedicated to providing quality, competitively priced insurance services to the Fund members.
