Texas Homeowners: What to Watch For
Texas law does not require homeowners insurance, but your mortgage lender almost always does. Before you buy or renew, check three things most Texas homeowners run into:
- Your wind and hail deductible
- Flood is not included in a standard policy
- Coastal homes may need separate windstorm coverage
Heads up: Flood insurance is a separate policy, and coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program usually has a 30-day waiting period. Don't wait for the forecast.
Before Storm Season, Check:
-
Wind and hail deductible:
Often a percentage of your dwelling coverage, not a flat dollar amount -
Roof settlement:
Replacement cost or actual cash value? It matters after a hail claim -
Coastal windstorm:
Some coastal areas need coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA)
