What is the maximum payment from the fund for claims based on judgments against a single inspector until the inspector repays the fund?

  1. $15,000

  2. $30,000

  3. $50,000

  4. $100,000

The correct answer is: $30,000

The maximum payment from the fund for claims based on judgments against a single inspector is set at $30,000. This amount reflects the legal limitations established by Texas law governing the home inspection profession. It is designed to protect consumers while also encouraging accountability among inspectors. If a claim exceeds this amount, the inspector is responsible for repaying the fund before being eligible for further claims. This regulatory framework ensures that there is a form of financial recourse available to consumers who may suffer damages due to the actions or negligence of a home inspector. Understanding this limit is crucial for both inspectors and consumers as it underscores the importance of professional responsibility and the potential repercussions of malpractice within the industry.
