Insurance requirements in Texas
Texas is an at-fault (tort) state — drivers must carry liability coverage, and because a meaningful share of Texas motorists drive uninsured, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is worth asking about even though you can decline it. Texas leads the country in hail losses, so your roof's age and whether it settles at replacement cost or actual cash value often matters more than the premium difference between carriers. On the coast it works differently again: standard homeowners policies commonly exclude windstorm and hail in the seaward counties, and that coverage is bought separately — frequently through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Texas also moves more freight than any other state, so commercial auto, motor truck cargo and physical damage are everyday business here rather than a specialty line. As an independent agency we shop multiple carriers against Texas rules and Texas weather. Verify current state minimums with the Texas Department of Insurance.
