We're not just building insurance agents. We're building entrepreneurs and leaders across Central Texas who are ready to serve their communities.
Farmers Insurance District 35 is the Farmers Insurance District Office of Central Texas, led by District Manager Melissa Casillas. Our mission is straightforward: empower Austin's future insurance agents, develop their skills and careers, and produce entrepreneurs across Central Texas who are ready to serve their communities.
We believe that the right combination of mentorship, training, and opportunity can turn driven individuals into thriving business owners. That belief is the foundation of everything we do.
Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and that growth creates real opportunity for the people who live and work here. District 35 is headquartered in the heart of downtown Austin, and our agents serve the families and businesses of Central Texas every day.
When you join District 35, you're not just building a business. You're becoming part of a community that's growing alongside you.
At District 35, the culture is genuine: collaborative and supportive, with a real belief that hard work should be rewarded, not just expected. Top performers are recognized with dinners, lunches, and trips throughout the year, not just at the finish line. From monthly happy hours to the way we show up across Austin, this is a team that invests in its people.
The Protégé Program is an 8–12 month, paid program that sets you up as an insurance agent apprentice. Under the guidance of a highly producing agent, you'll learn the ins and outs of insurance, sales techniques, and customer service strategies necessary to start your own agency. Once you complete the program, Farmers can provide various avenues to ensure your business journey is ready to begin.
