Texas Lawmaker Wants Probe into Windstorm Insurance Association Emails

A Texas lawmaker has called for an investigation into racist emails uncovered within the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, which acknowledged in court that bigotry could have influenced a claim filed by a predominantly Hispanic school district. The racist emails surfaced in a lawsuit brought by the Brownsville school district over unpaid damage from a 2008 hurricane, heaping more negative attention on a quasi-governmental agency beset recently by financial troubles.
