The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), the residual market property insurer for the State of Texas, has returned to the catastrophe bond market seeking to place a large $600 million Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2024-1) issuance as it looks to build-out its reinsurance for the years ahead with the help of the capital markets, Artemis can report.
