What condo coverage looks like in Texas

Texas condo owners should review their association’s master policy to understand what is covered versus what they must insure individually.

Texas Department of Insurance states that condo insurance generally covers personal property, the unit interior, liability, and additional living expenses. Read the TDI guidance.

The exact boundary between association-insured property and unit-owner-insured property depends on the declaration, bylaws, master policy, and unit-owner policy. Texas Property Code Section 82.111 governs association insurance and coordination. View the statute.

Flood is separate from ordinary condo insurance in common scenarios. NFIP guidance says condo flood coverage generally focuses on the unit interior, while contents coverage has separate limits and deductibles. NFIP condo flood guidance.

When discussing coverage options with an agent, consider factors such as your usage patterns, the value of your equipment, and any state-specific requirements that may apply. It is advisable to request a detailed explanation of limits, deductibles, and exclusions before finalizing a policy. Reviewing the declarations page and any endorsements will help you understand exactly what is covered and what is not. Keep in mind that insurance needs can change over time, so it is wise to revisit your coverage annually or after any significant life event, such as purchasing a new vehicle, moving to a different location, or changing how you use your recreational equipment. Your agent can help you adjust your policy to match your current situation.

Frequently asked questions

Does the association master policy cover everything outside my unit?

No. Governing documents and policy language control the boundary; the master policy may not cover all exterior damage, and the HO-6 may need to cover certain interior elements.

Does loss assessment automatically pay the association deductible?

No. Loss assessment depends on the cause of loss, the form, and the limit; it does not automatically pay the HOA deductible.

Does condo insurance include flood coverage?

No. Flood is separate from ordinary condo insurance; a separate NFIP or private flood policy is usually needed for flood protection.
