Insurance Agent Forum

So I have my licenses for Life and health and P&C, I am getting appointed with all of my Life and Health companies this week. I have my own personal E & O. My question is who do I decide to write my P&C business with? I have been given the name of two companies that I can use to go through until I build my book, Myron and Steves or Texas United. How am I supposed to differ between the two? Am I supposed to have an agency license to do so? or can I use my own personal license being it is just me?
