JI Lands Local Accounts

Austin, TX – Insurance Third Party Administrator, JI Companies, has landed two new Central Texas area clients, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and Leander Independent School District. The LCRA has joined the Texas Water Conservation Association Risk Management Fund, a self-insurance risk pool for water districts and river authorities throughout Texas.  JI Companies has served as Fund Administrator since 1988. As a member of the Fund, the LCRA will receive comprehensive claims and litigation management, loss control, and related services for its 2,000+ employees.  The LCRA supplies low-cost electricity for Central Texas, manages water supplies and floods in the lower Colorado River basin, develops water and wastewater utilities, provides public parks, and supports community and economic development in 58 Texas counties.

Leander ISD selected JI Companies to administer its workers’ compensation program. The second fastest-growing school district in Texas, the District employs over 3,000 employees and consists of 31 locations with 17 elementary schools; six middle schools; three high schools; one alternative campus and four administrative and support facilities. “JI has the combination of technology and experience we were looking for,” reports Darla Humes, Director of Risk Management. “It was a real bonus that they are located just down the road from us.”
