-- Texan Insurance has put out a homeowners insurance guide built specifically for Houston. Not a generic policy explainer. A resource that addresses what actually goes wrong for Houston families when a storm rolls through — and why standard coverage often isn't enough.
Six coverages. Dwelling, other structures, personal property, loss of use, personal liability, medical payments. That's the standard HO-3 structure. But most Houston homeowners don't end up in trouble because of what's covered — they end up in trouble because of what isn't. Flood damage. Sewer backup. Gradual deterioration. Denied at claim time, every time.
Flood's the big one. Standard policies don't touch it. Not bayou overflow, not storm surge, not the overland flooding that comes after two straight days of rain. Harris County floods. A lot. And when Harvey came through in 2017, four out of five flooded homeowners had no flood policy. Some lost everything. Most of it was preventable.
Texas wind and hail deductibles don't work the way most people assume. It's a percentage of the dwelling limit — not a flat number. At 1% on a $350,000 home, that's $3,500 before coverage kicks in. At 2%, it's $7,000. Most policyholders find that out mid-claim.
Texan Insurance, was direct about it. "The conversation about what's covered needs to happen before the claim, not after. Houston homeowners face risks most of the country doesn't. This guide exists so they're not finding out what their policy doesn't cover at the worst possible time."
Replacement cost vs. actual cash value. The guide covers it in detail because the dollar difference after a major loss is significant. Depreciation eats actual cash value settlements fast — a roof that costs $18,000 to replace today doesn't pay out $18,000 under ACV. Replacement cost does. Not a small distinction.
