Watkins Insurance Group
Watkins Insurance Group is a privately owned independent insurance agency, proudly rooted in Austin, Texas. For decades, we’ve grown through service guided by a belief that insurance is, at its core, about people helping people.
Whether we’re volunteering at a local soup kitchen, sponsoring community events, or supporting nonprofits across Central Texas, we stay actively involved because we believe strong communities make strong businesses.
Our mission is simple: We’re here to help. That promise shapes every interaction with clients, colleagues, industry partners, and the communities we serve.
We live by our core values: Continuous Improvement, Relationships, Excellence, Serve, and Teamwork.
These aren’t just words. They define how we show up, for each other and for the people who count on us every day.

Purpose
We’re proud to be an independent insurance agency and we don’t take that independence for granted.
Since 1949, Watkins Insurance Group has built a reputation for honest advice, personal relationships, and doing what’s right for the people we serve. Our independence means we answer to our clients, not to shareholders. That gives our team the freedom to recommend what’s best every time.
But our purpose goes beyond insurance. Serving others is a core value, and we live it through deep community involvement and hands-on volunteerism. Our team members roll up their sleeves for causes that matter: education, healthcare access, the arts, disaster relief, and more. We partner with local nonprofits to amplify impact and create space for individual giving and service.
We encourage every employee to give back in their own way with flexible opportunities, and support for the organizations they care about. Whether you’re mentoring students, packing meals, or helping rebuild after a storm, your service is part of who we are.
Working here means more than having a job. It means being part of something meaningful.
