A Texas legacy continues through the merging of two trusted insurance agencies

Two of Gonzales’s trusted insurance agencies are joining forces to form Legacy Insurance Agency. Effective Jan. 1, 2025, Travis Tresner of Logan Insurance Agency will be purchasing DuBose Insurance Agency. The two agencies will merge as the newly developed Legacy Insurance Agency.

Logan Insurance Agency’s history dates back to the late 1940s, when Irving Forgotston founded Forgotston Insurance. In 1966, Eldon Farek bought the agency, creating Forgotston-Farek Insurance. In 1973, Eldon partnered with Dick Dixon to form Farek-Dixon Insurance, later becoming Dixon Insurance in 1977.

In 1983, Mike Davis and Jim Logan acquired the agency, renaming it Davis and Logan Insurance Agency. Jim Logan became the sole owner in 1992, and the agency became Logan Insurance Agency. In 2010, Jim sold the agency to current owner Travis Tresner, who has continued Jim’s legacy. Jim served as a mentor to Travis until his death in 2013.

DuBose Insurance Agency, founded in 1926, has been serving businesses and individuals across Texas for nearly a century. Originally specializing in fire and health coverage, DuBose Insurance was established by J.O. DuBose. After J.O.'s passing in 1948, his brother Whit M. DuBose took over. In 1959, Whit’s son, John C. DuBose, joined the agency, followed by his daughter, Desiree (Sissy) Mills, in 1980. In 2007, John C. DuBose Jr. also joined, and in 2017, he and Sissy became co-owners after John C. DuBose Sr.'s passing. Sissy became the sole owner in 2024.

Travis Tresner, who will lead the newly united teams and provide a smooth transition for its clientele, states “Sissy has been steadfast in continuing the DuBose family name and I look forward to joining in that mission. The century-long traditions and trusted reputation will be carried on while continuing to expand product offerings all while providing exceptional customer service. Sissy will stay on as an active member of the team and be involved in the day-to-day operations of Legacy Insurance Agency.”

Starting Dec. 9, Logan Insurance Agency will start the transition of moving their offices into the DuBose Insurance Agency offices located at 826 E. Sarah DeWitt Drive in Gonzales.
