Our founder, Charles “Rek” Rekerdres
1) Charles “Rek” Rekerdres became a licensed cotton insurance agent and starts “Rekerdres Agency.” He had been around the world and knew a lot of people, and as Texas was just coming on as a huge, fairly new market just a jump away from Mexico and Latin America-….it just made sense to move to insurance. Hence, Rekerdres Agency is founded.

Reksons has diligently
Claims mitigation has been an important part of Reksons for years. System checks, inspections, and photo documentation are all part of keeping a well-run warehouse.
The business starts off highly successful. As a way to encourage his three sons to join, Charles renames the company “Rekerdres & Sons Insurance Agency, Inc.” in order to include them- without any of them even signing on yet.
1) Rek’s optimism finally pays off, and his eldest son Ted officially joins the business in ’77, with a Lloyd’s of London apprenticeship in ’79. On his return, he understudied with his father before taking over in 1984.
