we've never had a problem with know and tube as long as the cloth is not frayed and the ceramic interruptors where in good shape....
maybe a local institution who may hold some of their loans in-house...

Thanks for the great response. I will follow up with those specific companies as well as check all companies listed to do business with the Texas Department of Insurance (that the buyer has not already talked with). Once I have it solved I will post the solution for all.
If you are not familiar with knob and tube wiring done in the 30s and 40s you might look it up on Google just to get an understanding of what it is.
Any new responses are welcome. We all help each other.
Many thanks.

I suggest you contact a licensed Texas insurance broker or whatever they are called in Texas since they should be familiar with those types of issues. One located in the Heights area or other areas with knob and tube wiring may have encountered such issues.

Sorry, I can't help. This has been an issue in my market from time to time as well. I've been fortunate enough to have my own insurance broker usually find me a "specialty" broker who will insure odd things--for a price, of course.

Chubb does a great job with old houses here - we have a bunch of them. But not sure they have knob and tube wiring.

Well they can get some coverage but with exclusions and riders. That stuff has to be brought up to code or it becomes an expensive keepsake
