Two well-known Texas independent insurance agencies have merged.
Dallas-based McQueary Henry Bowles Troy (MHBT) and Shofner, Lynch & Shulse LLC (SLS) announced that the SLS Lubbock office joined MHBT effective Jan. 1, 2012.
The merger offers MHBT a long-sought-after West Texas presence and provides SLS with increased access to insurance carriers, resources and an expanded reach into the employee benefits arena.
SLS will continue to operate under its name, and all current employees of the SLS Lubbock office will become part of MHBT.
The Shofner, Lynch, & Shulse agency is the culmination of a merger between two agencies. It consists of Shofner & Associates Insurance, located in Lubbock, Texas, and Lynch & Shulse Insurance & Bonds in Alamogordo, N.M. Shofner Insurance was founded in 1966 and Lynch & Shulse has roots dating back to 1913.
MHBT is based in Dallas with offices in Fort Worth and Austin, Texas. MHBT is ranked as one of the largest privately owned insurance brokers in the nation and services a global, national and local client base.
