I'm Cris Quinones, a licensed insurance agent and the office administrator here at Bird Dog. I help individuals, families, and business owners find insurance that fits their needs, and just as importantly, I'm here to support you the whole time you're with us.
I work in both personal and commercial insurance, so I can help you sort through coverage options, update a policy when your life changes, service your account, and answer the questions that come up along the way.
Behind the scenes, I also help keep the agency running, handling policy administration, documentation, and account maintenance so things don't slip through the cracks.
New coverage or help with a policy you already have, I'm here to make the insurance process simple and stress-free.
I start by understanding you, your family, or your business, what you own, and what you'd want protected.
Because Bird Dog is an independent agency, I'm not tied to one company. I compare multiple top-rated carriers to find coverage that fits both what you need and what you can spend.
I walk you through your options in plain language, what's covered, what isn't, and what your choices mean, so you can make a confident, informed decision.
This is the part I care about most. Once your policy is in place, I handle updates, reviews, account questions, and any problems that come up.
The everyday coverage most people start with. I'll help you land on the right limits, deductibles, and discounts on your vehicles and your home, or set up renters coverage if you lease.
If you run a business in East Texas, I can help you protect it, working through liability, property, and the other pieces your operation needs, all through top-rated carriers.
Out here that's a big one. Boats, motorcycles, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles usually don't belong on a standard auto or home policy, so I help you cover them the right way for the lake and the open road.
Not sure your current coverage still fits? I'll review what you have, point out any gaps or places you might be over-covered, and give you honest guidance, whether or not the policy started with me.
A lot of people only hear from their agent when it's time to renew or to sell them something. That's not how I work. As the office administrator as well as a licensed agent, I'm the person keeping your account in order between those moments, handling the policy updates, the documentation, and the account maintenance that keep everything accurate and current.
I work with clients across Tyler and East Texas, including Whitehouse, Lindale, Bullard, Flint, Longview, Van, Mineola, and Jacksonville. Bird Dog is licensed statewide in Texas and also writes in Arkansas and Oklahoma, so whether you're insuring a home, a business, or a boat on the lake, I can usually help.
Not sure if what you need is something I handle? Reach out anyway, and if it's not my area, I'll point you to the right person on our team.
I work in both personal and commercial lines. My main areas are auto, home, and renters, commercial coverage for business owners, and recreational vehicles like boats, motorcycles, and ATVs. I can also review and service policies you already have.
Yes, that's a big part of my role. As the office administrator, I handle policy updates, account servicing, reviews, and any problems that come up, even between renewals. You don't have to wait until renewal time to reach out.
I can. Boats, motorcycles, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles usually don't fit on a standard auto or home policy, so I help East Texas clients cover them the right way for the lake and the road.
Happily. I'll look over what you have, flag any gaps or places you might be paying for more than you need, and give you straight guidance, whether or not the policy started with me.
Yes. Because I work across personal and commercial lines, I can help with your home, your vehicles, and your business, so you have one person who knows your full picture.
Yes. Getting a quote and talking through your options with me is free and there's no obligation. Bird Dog is an independent agency, so I shop multiple top-rated carriers on your behalf.
No, I work with clients across Tyler and East Texas, and Bird Dog is licensed statewide in Texas plus Arkansas and Oklahoma. Whether you're in town or out on acreage, I can usually help.
Fill out the form on this page and I'll get back to you, or call our downtown Tyler office at (903) 534-5554. I'll help you with new coverage or with a policy you already have.
