About the Agency

Texas Assurance Care is family owned and operated by Lynn* and Harry Shank, and specializes in Senior Planning Services.

Guiding Principles

• Personal and professional integrity.
• Care and concern for the individual needs of the senior and their families.
• A personal commitment to obtain and share the latest information affecting seniors' long term security.

Our Mission

To provide individuals - especially seniors and their families - with the tools and the information to insure that they will not outlive their money. To help them protect their lifestyle and health care choices, so they may remain independent, financially secure, and in control of their future as they age.

Our Concept

Texas Assurance Care was founded on the concept of providing ethical and affordable insurance planning and asset preservation services for seniors and their families. Through strategic community partnerships and associations, we can offer the most comprehensive resources available.

Our Team Approach

Texas Assurance Care has assembled a team of professionals that includes: attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, and a vast network of senior service providers. Working together, we address all of the varied and unique needs of senior clients and their families through free consultations and referrals. Our local team includes:

Randy Morgan, Associate

Randy moved to Austin several years ago, while in the Air Force, and decided to retire and stay. Randy is married and has two adult children and his wife Linda works at UT in the Student Financial Aid Office, Student Employment Section.
