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
Your exact coverage depends on your policy form and limits

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)

Is homeowners insurance required in Texas?
Texas law does not require homeowners insurance. Your mortgage lender almost always does, though, and it is the main way to protect your home and belongings from a large loss.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage from hail?
Hail is usually a covered cause of loss, but how much you get back depends on your deductible and whether your roof is covered at replacement cost or actual cash value. Some policies settle older roofs differently.
