Insurance Partners Across Texas

Why the right insurance partner matters

Homeowners insurance protects one of life's biggest investments, and lenders require proof of coverage before funding. A knowledgeable agent shops the market, explains coverage clearly, and delivers the binder on time so the closing stays on schedule.

Insurance is also the item most likely to surprise a buyer late in a transaction. A property with prior claims history, an older roof, an unusual build, or an aging electrical system can come back with a premium far above what your client budgeted — or occasionally with limited options. Getting an insurance agent involved early turns that from a crisis into a conversation.

Worth knowing in Texas

Texas homeowners policies frequently exclude two of the perils that matter most here. Windstorm and hail is often excluded along the coast and must be written separately, commonly through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association in designated coastal counties. Flood is never covered by a standard homeowners policy and requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy, with waiting periods that can delay a closing if it isn't started early.

If you're working the Coastal Bend, treat windstorm and flood as day-one items, not week-three items. Insurance is regulated in Texas by the Texas Department of Insurance, and rates and eligibility are set by each carrier's underwriting.

How our agents use this list

A preferred partner list is only useful if it changes what you actually do on Monday.

Start quotes during the option period

Don't wait for the lender to ask. Roof age, prior claims, and coastal exposure can move a premium significantly, and your client deserves to know before the option period closes.

Ask about windstorm and flood separately

Neither is automatically included. Confirm what's covered, what needs a separate policy, and whether any waiting period affects your closing date.

Give clients options

Provide more than one name and let your client choose. It's better service, and it keeps you clear of any suggestion that a particular provider is required.

Frequently asked questions

When should a buyer get homeowners insurance?

Start shopping during the option period and secure the policy before closing. Lenders require proof of insurance, and the binder must be in place for the loan to fund. Starting early also surfaces any coverage or premium surprises while your client still has options.

What does homeowners insurance cover?

Policies typically cover the dwelling, other structures, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses, with options to add coverage for specific risks. Actual coverage, limits, exclusions, and deductibles vary by policy and carrier.

Is windstorm damage covered by a standard Texas policy?

Not always. Along the Texas coast, windstorm and hail coverage is frequently excluded from standard homeowners policies and must be written separately — often through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association in designated coastal counties. Confirm early whether the property requires separate windstorm coverage.

Is flood covered?

No. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood. Flood coverage requires a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier. Waiting periods may apply, so this needs to be addressed early in the transaction rather than the week of closing.

Why did my client's quote come back much higher than expected?

Common drivers include roof age and material, prior claims history on the property or the buyer, distance to a fire station, foundation type, electrical or plumbing systems, and coastal or wildfire exposure. An experienced agent can explain what's driving the number and what options exist.

How can a buyer lower their premium?

Comparing quotes across carriers, bundling auto and home, raising the deductible, and documenting safety or mitigation features can all help. Availability of discounts varies by carrier and is subject to underwriting.

Do I have to use a preferred insurance provider?

No. These partners are provided as a convenience only. Clients are always free to choose their own insurance agent, and comparable services are available from other providers. No one is required to use any partner listed here.

How does the market selector work?

Choose any Texas region and the list updates to show the insurance partners who serve it. Partners writing coverage across the entire state are marked Statewide Texas and appear under every region you select.
