Gladys J. Garcia, insurance broker and notary public

Meet Gladys J. Garcia

Gladys J. Garcia is the owner of Income Tax & Health Solutions LLC. She opened the office on North Meadow Avenue so Laredo families could take care of their health insurance, taxes and important paperwork in one place, with someone they know.

As an independent insurance broker licensed in Texas, Arkansas and California, Gladys is not tied to one company. She works with seven Medicare insurance companies in Webb County, along with ACA, life, dental and vision carriers, so she can put plans side by side and help you choose the one that fits your doctors, your prescriptions and your budget.

She is also a CTEC-registered tax preparer and a Texas notary public. The same person who reviews your Medicare plan can prepare your tax return, notarize a Lady Bird deed or power of attorney, or help you set up an LLC for your small business.
