Richey Insurance Agency Expands Into Five New States: Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah

Richey Insurance Agency is embarking on its largest expansion to date. The Texas-based independent agency is extending its services into five new states: Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah. This milestone reflects the agency’s steady growth and commitment to bringing its multi-carrier model to even more communities across the Southwest and Mountain West regions.

With deep roots in Texas, Richey Insurance Agency now broadens its reach while preserving its core promise — tailored insurance solutions backed by knowledgeable local service.

A Message from the Leadership Team

“This is more than an expansion; it’s a chance to deliver our personalized approach to even more families and businesses,” said Clinton D. Richey, Managing Partner. “We’re entering these five states with the same focus that built our Texas foundation: transparency, choice, and a service-first mindset.”

Richey emphasized the agency’s readiness to scale while keeping its customer-focused culture intact, noting that each new market represents an opportunity to strengthen relationships at the local level.

Why Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah?

Each new market was selected carefully, balancing demand, operational reach, and alignment with Richey’s carrier expertise.

Local Service With Regional Expertise

Richey Insurance Agency is bringing on licensed agents and regional partners within each new state to provide a familiar, community-centered experience.

The agency’s strategy isn’t about planting a flag in new markets — it’s about building a local presence through relationships and understanding each community’s unique risks and needs. This includes collaborations with real estate agents, mortgage professionals, and small businesses to provide truly tailored coverage options.
