PROCEDURAL MATTERS

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

We have issued one class of capital stock. Stockholders of record at the close of business on Friday, March 20, 2026 (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 16,140,570 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, were issued and outstanding.

Voting and Solicitation

Every stockholder of record on the Record Date is entitled, for each share held, to one vote on each proposal that comes before the Annual Meeting. In the election of directors, each stockholder will be entitled to vote for ten nominees.

Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote by completing, signing and mailing the proxy card enclosed therewith in the postage-prepaid envelope provided for that purpose. Your completed and signed proxy may also be returned to the Company by Fax or email. Voting by written proxy will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting if you do not attend in person. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please review the instructions on the proxy card enclosed with the proxy materials.

The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. The Company may reimburse expenses incurred by brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners.

General

The Board of Directors consists of one class, with the term of office expiring each year. The number of Directors which will constitute the entire 2026 Board of Directors is ten. The number of Directors that served and finished the year on the 2025 Board of Directors was ten. Proxies can only be voted for ten persons that correspond to the number of Directors nominated.

Vote Required

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for Texas Republic's ten nominees named below, to hold office for a term of one year each or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If any nominee of Texas Republic is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who is designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy.

PROPOSAL TWO:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Kerber, Eck & Braeckel LLP ("KEB") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2026. Although ratification by shareholders is not required by law, the Board of Directors has determined that it is desirable to request ratification of this selection by the shareholders. Notwithstanding its selection, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KEB, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection. KEB has audited the Company's financial statements since the Company's inception. No representative of KEB is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Accounting Fees

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by the Company for the audit and other services provided by KEB.

		Years Ended December 31,
		2025				2024
Audit Fees (including expenses)		$	115,254			$	104,981
Audit Related Fees			-				-
Tax Fees			-				-
All Other Fees			-				-
Total		$	115,254			$	104,981

Audit fees primarily represent fees for financial services provided in connection with the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements of Texas Republic Life Insurance Company ("TRLIC"). Additionally, KEB reviews the quarterly and annual financial statements and SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Prior to engaging our independent registered public accounting firm to render an audit or permissible non-audit services, the Audit Committee specifically approves the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to render that service. Accordingly, we do not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or permissible non-audit services pursuant to pre-approval policies or procedures or otherwise, unless the engagement to provide such services has been approved by the Audit Committee in advance. As such, the engagement of KEB to render 100% of the services described in the categories above was approved by the Audit Committee in advance of the rendering of the services.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 with the Company's management. The Company's management has primary responsibility for the Company's financial reporting process and internal controls as well as preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) to obtain reasonable assurance that the Company's consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement and expressing an opinion on the conformity of such financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the independent registered accounting firm's audit process on behalf of the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee has discussed with KEB, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2025, the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301, "Communications with Audit Committees" as amended and adopted by PCAOB. PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301 requires an auditor to discuss with the Audit Committee, among other things, the auditor's judgments about the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles applied in the Company's financial reporting. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from KEB required by PCAOB Rule 3526, "Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence," and has discussed with KEB its independence from TEXAS REPUBLIC.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to TEXAS REPUBLIC's Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in overseeing the management of the Company's compensation and benefits program, chief executive officer performance and executive development and succession efforts. In addition, they oversee the evaluation of management and compensation of the officers of the Company.

The primary objective of our compensation program is to offer executive officers competitive compensation packages that will help the Company to attract and retain qualified individuals with great experience and to motivate and reward such individuals in an appropriate manner in the long-term interest of the Company and its shareholders. Management provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding most compensation matters, including executive compensation; however, the Compensation Committee does not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation. The Company does not currently engage any consultant related to executive compensation matters.

The Company's compensation program for executive officers consists of base salary, consideration for annual bonuses, and life, health and dental insurance coverage. These elements are intended to provide an overall compensation package that is commensurate with the Company's financial resources, that is appropriate to assure the retention of experienced management personnel and that aligns their financial interest with those of our shareholders.

Base Salary: Salary levels recommended by the Compensation Committee are intended to be competitive with salary levels of similarly situated companies, commensurate with the executive officers' respective duties and responsibilities, and reflect the financial performance of the Company. Annual salary increases are considered based on the same criteria.

Bonuses: Bonus amounts are based on individual performance and are intended to reward exceptional performance. The Compensation Committee may also consider additional considerations that it deems appropriate.

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth the compensation of the executive officer's compensation that exceeded $100,000.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16(a)") requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities ("10% Stockholders"), to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and 10% Stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required to be filed during 2023, the Company believes that its executive officers, directors and 10% Stockholders have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CD&A)

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") describes the material elements of compensation for executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table.

Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee, composed of four independent directors, is responsible for implementing our compensation philosophy for directors, executive officers and employees. Our goal is to ensure we employ qualified, experienced executive officers whose financial interests are aligned with that of our shareholders. Because we do believe a systematic pattern exists between executive compensation and performance, our compensation philosophy is structured to "motivate" managerial behaviors through a combination of base and incentive compensation.

Another objective is to acquire and retain people of integrity who take pride in delivering positive results. The final objective, due to our philosophy to outsource many functions and retain a low number of full-time and part-time employees, requires us to have executive officers that are able to perform and have an intimate knowledge of a combination of executive, actuarial, finance and accounting, operating and other understandings inherent in supervising and growing a successful life insurance company.

Overview of Compensation Program

Our compensation consists of salary, bonuses, allowances, and benefit plans generally administered equally for all qualified Company employees. The Compensation Committee establishes a salary for each senior executive based on long-term corporate objectives, competitive industry practices and each executive officer's contributions. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure executive compensation is reasonable, fair and competitive. In order to make this determination, toward the end of each calendar year, the Compensation Committee generally evaluates the Company's performance and then conducts a similar exercise with respect to a group of comparable companies.

"Say-on-Pay" and "Say-When-on-Pay"

We believe our compensation philosophy and structure is fair for our executive officers. Shareholders will not find complex compensation formulas to evaluate and approve. However, to retain our limited number of corporate executives, we generally allow a minimum of a couple months to a maximum of two years of compensation in the event of termination of employment by the Company not for cause or for good reason. Our straightforward and simplified approach to executive compensation protects our shareholders from the types of corporate excesses which led to the enactment of "Say-on-Pay" and "Say-When-on Pay." We believe our compensation approach favorably serves our shareholders on matters of executive pay.

Compensation Performance Analysis

Our executive management team is led by Timothy R. Miller and Shane S. Mitchell, who are full-time employees and Gregg E. Zahn who is a part-time employee. The Compensation Committee conducted a review of the performance of Timothy R. Miller, Gregg E. Zahn, and Shane S. Mitchell for the year 2025. This review included an evaluation of the progress made towards the attainment of our corporate objectives and the role these individuals played in meeting those objectives. The review also included a broad-based comparison of salaries with senior executives of other publicly traded life insurance companies.

As a smaller public reporting company whose common stock is not publicly traded, it is difficult to find public life insurance companies that are comparable to us.

The Company's performance in 2025 reflected the business philosophy and leadership of Timothy R. Miller, Gregg E. Zahn, and Shane S. Mitchell. Giving consideration to these factors, the Compensation Committee was encouraged by executive management's demonstrated leadership. The Compensation Committee has determined that Timothy R. Miller, Gregg E. Zahn, and Shane S. Mitchell to be valuable executive officers in implementing our corporate objectives and positioning the Company for long-term strength.

Timothy R. Miller continues to lead the Company in accordance with the ideals of organic growth of the life insurance and annuity business coupled with the long-term goal of establishing a public traded stock. Gregg E. Zahn is Chairman of the Board of Directors. Shane S. Mitchell reports to Timothy R. Miller and leads the daily financial, investment, and administrative operations of the Company in accordance with those same ideals and philosophies. In 2025, Timothy R. Miller, Gregg E. Zahn, and Shane S. Mitchell met and exceeded the subjective expectations of our Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee remains cautious about its responsibility to shareholders in setting executive compensation and has asked executive management to focus on continued product marketing, asset growth and profitability. Timothy R. Miller received an increase in base salary for 2025, total compensation in 2025 consisted of $400,000 base salary, $25,000 bonus, and an automobile allowance of $15,000. Gregg E. Zahn base salary remained the same for 2025, total 2025 compensation consisted of base salary of $200,000. Shane S. Mitchell received an increase in base salary for 2025, total compensation in 2025 consisted of $265,000 base salary and $25,000 bonus.

Compensation Comparables

To assist in establishing the compensation for 2025, the Compensation Committee utilized independent sources to identify "comparables" within the life insurance industry. We believe a comparable is a point of reference for measurement, but not the determinative factor for our executives' compensation. Because the comparative compensation information is one of several analytic tools used in setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has discretion in determining the manner and extent of its use.

Board Process and Conclusion

The Board of Directors discussed the Compensation Committee's recommended 2025 compensation and adopted the recommendations as proposed. The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement, which the Board of Directors approved.
