Meet the Team at Affinity Insurance Services in Jourdanton
Donna Valdez founded this agency on a simple premise: people in Atascosa County deserve the same quality of insurance guidance that bigger cities take for granted, delivered by someone who actually knows them.
A Local Agency Built on Referrals and Real Relationships
Donna launched Affinity Insurance Services in 2020, drawing on the experience she had been building since earning her insurance license in 2012. After nearly a decade working with clients across the region, she kept seeing the same thing: people overwhelmed by options, navigating complicated decisions without real support, and looking for someone who would take the time to explain things clearly and follow through.
So she built that agency.
Affinity has grown almost entirely through word of mouth. Most clients find us through someone they already trust: a neighbor, a family member, a coworker. That kind of growth doesn't happen without doing the job right, and it's the measure we hold ourselves to.
As an independent agency, we aren't tied to any single carrier. We work with all the major carriers in Texas, which means every recommendation we make is shaped by your situation, not a sales quota.
Flexible Plans Designed Around Real Needs
The People You'll Work With
Donna Valdez
Founder & Licensed Agent
Donna Valdez was born and raised right here in Jourdanton — so when she talks about serving this community, she means it personally. She's been a licensed health and Medicare agent in Texas for more than 11 years, earning professional certifications through AHIP and NABIP along the way. She founded Affinity Insurance Services in 2020 because she saw a real gap: people in Atascosa County were sorting through complicated insurance decisions without guidance from someone who actually knew them.
She works with clients across the full range of coverage — Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Part D, ACA Marketplace plans, cancer, heart and stroke coverage, life insurance, dental and vision, and both long- and short-term care.
Her approach is patient and thorough. She doesn't move a client toward a decision before they're ready, and she considers her job done only when they feel genuinely confident about what they've enrolled in. Outside the office, Donna stays active through the Jourdanton Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. When she's not working, you'll find her traveling, fishing, or spending time with family and friends.
Jessica Sanchez
Licensed Agent
Jessica Sanchez was born and raised in Jourdanton and is also an active community member in Poteet, bringing a genuinely local perspective to every client conversation. She is a licensed health, life, and Medicare agent in Texas with six years of experience and AHIP certification.
Jessica works with clients across the full range of coverage Affinity offers, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Part D, ACA Marketplace plans, cancer, heart and stroke coverage, life insurance, dental and vision, and long- and short-term care. Her approach is patient, compassionate, and always in the client’s corner. As an outgoing, dependable, and helpful people person, Jessica has a natural ability to make coverage decisions feel less overwhelming. She takes the time to listen, explain options clearly, and make sure her clients understand what they’ve enrolled in and why it fits their needs.
Outside of helping clients, Jessica is an activity coordinator and planner who loves bringing people together and making things happen. She is a true go-getter with a love for staying active, solving puzzles, trying great food, and spending time with family and friends. Jessica is a self-described foodie who enjoys discovering delicious new places and experiences. She also loves to dance and, whenever she gets the chance, enjoys relaxing at one of her favorite places—the beach. Her warm personality, dependability, and genuine desire to help others carry through into everything she does.
