nonsubscription
An option available only in Texas, permitting employers to elect not to participate
in the workers compensation system. Nonsubscribing employers can be held liable
in tort for injuries to employees, and they are not permitted to use the traditional
common law defenses available to employers subject to workers compensation laws.
Two special types of insurance policies can be purchased by nonsubscription
employers: occupational accident insurance and employers excess indemnity insurance.
