Guaranteed UL

Fixed, predictable premium guarantees the death benefit for life — even if the cash value drops to zero. Best for estate planning.

Traditional UL

Premium Flexibility

Adjust premium payments within policy limits as your Texas business income fluctuates — a feature not available with whole life.

Who Universal Life Insurance Is Perfect For

Self-Employed Texans

Income fluctuates month to month — premium flexibility is critical. Universal life lets you pay more in good months and less when cash flow is tight, keeping your permanent coverage intact.

Business Owners

Fund buy-sell agreements with flexible premiums that adapt to your company's performance. UL cash value can also serve as an informal financing reserve for your Texas business.

High Earners in Their 40s

Need permanent coverage without the rigid, high premiums of whole life. Universal life provides the death benefit guarantee and cash accumulation you need with room to adjust as your career evolves.

Texans Approaching Retirement

Reduce premiums as your mortgage is paid off and kids leave the nest. Universal life lets you scale back payments while maintaining lifelong coverage into retirement.

Three Types of Universal Life in Texas

Stable Growth

Traditional UL

Interest credited at current market rates set by the carrier, with a guaranteed minimum floor. Adjustable death benefit lets you increase or decrease coverage as your Texas family's needs change.

Growth + Protection

Indexed UL (IUL)

Cash value linked to the S&P 500 index with downside floor protection — you participate in market gains without direct market risk. Popular among Texas professionals seeking accumulation potential.

Higher Risk / Reward

Variable UL (VUL)

Cash value allocated to investment sub-accounts (stocks, bonds, money market). Higher growth potential with corresponding market risk — best for financially sophisticated Texas investors.

Texas Universal Life FAQ

Is universal life insurance available in Texas?

Yes — Tower Hill Corp offers universal life insurance (including Guaranteed UL and Indexed UL) for Texas residents with top-rated carriers carrier partners. We are Texas-licensed (TX Agency License #2608479TX) and serve all Texas residents.

What makes universal life different from whole life in Texas?

Both are permanent policies available in Texas. Universal life offers more flexible premium payments and a cash value that grows based on a credited interest rate. Whole life has fixed premiums and guaranteed cash value growth. Universal life may suit Texas business owners and high-income earners who need premium flexibility.

Can Texas business owners use universal life for executive benefits?

Yes — universal life (UL) is commonly used for executive benefit arrangements in Texas. Employers can informally fund deferred compensation or provide a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) using UL cash values. Traditional UL products from our carrier network are well-suited for these arrangements.

What is the risk of universal life lapsing?

Universal life can lapse if the cash value is depleted by policy charges and insufficient premiums. Guaranteed UL designs include a secondary guarantee that keeps the death benefit in force regardless of cash value — important for Texas policyholders who want certainty.
