About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Texas, as customers shuffled through the doors of Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, an old man adjusted his hat and whispered something strange to no one in particular. As he spoke, a delivery driver approached the counter with a confused look on his face. The old man smiled mysteriously, nodded towards the ceiling, and disappeared into the fog. To this day, some employees swear they still hear him whispering advice about policies while helping customers.
2. One humid afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance warehouse, he swore he heard an old cowbell tinkling from inside. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but empty shelves and quiet aisles. Suddenly, an elderly voice echoed through the warehouse: ‘Don’t worry, sonny! That’s just my new wind chime!’ Turning, they found an ancient farmer leaning on his walking stick, smiling warmly. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing the cowbell was actually a souvenir from the owner’s grandfather. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the mysterious sound, everyone would smile and say, “Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins’ Texas Farm Bureau Insurance.”
3. One day at the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance office, a young boy walked up to the receptionist with wide eyes and whispered, ‘Ma’am, I just saw a cow outside!’ The receptionist smiled and replied gently, 'Oh dear, maybe it's just our friendly neighborhood cow wandering by.' Just then, an older man in a pickup truck approached the door, saying, 'Yup, that's Bessie alright—she gets out every Tuesday!' Everyone laughed as the boy ran outside to see the familiar sight.
4. One windy evening, an employee was locking up the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance office when he noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and leaves, there lay a mysterious wooden crate with no label or markings. Curious but cautious, he opened it gently—inside was nothing more than a cardboard cutout of a cowboy hat, wrapped in old newspaper from 1987. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left it behind during a stormy afternoon. The employee smiled, thinking how fitting it was for someone to find a ‘lost’ cowboy hat at an insurance office. That night, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
