My name is Renee Thibodeaux, and I have been a State Farm Agent in Baytown, Texas since 2009. My journey with State Farm began in 2001 as an agent team member in Morgan City, Louisiana, followed by time working in Franklin, Louisiana, before opening my own agency in Baytown. With more than two decades of insurance experience, I understand both the day-to-day work of serving customers and the responsibility that comes with helping families make informed coverage decisions.
The experience that inspired my career path was personal. After I joined a State Farm agency and corrected gaps in my own life insurance coverage, my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer and became uninsurable. Seeing firsthand how important it is to understand coverage options and have the right protection in place motivated me to follow in the footsteps of the agent who helped my family. That experience continues to shape how I approach every conversation. Ethics, education, and doing what is right for the customer are values that guide our office every day. I personally train my team so we can provide a consistent experience and help customers better understand their options.
My team and I proudly serve customers throughout Baytown, Mont Belvieu, Highlands, Dayton, La Porte, Crosby, Deer Park, Channelview, Anahuac, the wider West Chambers County area, East Houston, and communities across Chambers, Harris, and Liberty Counties. We are licensed in both Texas and Louisiana and can assist with Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Life Insurance, Business Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Pet Insurance. Whether you're preparing for a new vehicle, protecting your home, supporting a growing business, or reviewing life insurance needs, my team is here to help explain your options. We also offer assistance in Spanish and provide virtual, phone, and in-office appointments.
Professional development has always been important to me. In addition to my years of experience, I hold the CHFC and CLU designations and was recognized by readers of The Baytown Sun in its 2026 Readers' Choice awards. Our agency remains actively involved in the community through membership in the Mont Belvieu Area Chamber of Commerce, relationships with the Baytown Sun's Women's Expo and Senior Expo, support for Bay Area Rehabilitation and the Luke Arnold Memorial Scholarship Fund, sponsorship of Hockey Day Houston, and participation in local school events.
Outside the office, I have been happily married to my husband, Steve, for more than 27 years, and we are proud parents of Amber and Kyle, both graduates of Barbers Hill High School. Amber also graduated from East Texas Baptist University with a degree in Management and Marketing, while Kyle is currently pursuing his bachelor's degree. As a proud Cajun from south Louisiana, I love spending time in the kitchen, especially baking for family and friends. I also enjoy crafting, creating shirts, cups, signs, and other décor projects. My family includes three cats, two of whom were rescues, and helping rescue animals find good homes has long been important to me. We also enjoy visiting Fredericksburg, Texas, where I appreciate supporting local wineries and small businesses.
