About Watkins Insurance Group
Watkins Insurance Group is the largest privately-owned independent insurance agency in Central Texas, founded in 1949 as R.B. Lewis Agency. The agency became Lewis-Watkins-Farmer Agency in 1965, with David Watkins becoming sole owner in 1985 and his son Patrick Watkins taking over as president in 2002. Now with 100+ employees across four Texas locations — Austin, Georgetown, Marble Falls, and Waco — and membership in the elite Assurex Global partnership of independent brokerages, Watkins provides tailored insurance, employee benefits, bond solutions, and risk management for businesses and individuals of all sizes.
