What to review with home insurance
A good policy is not just about price. It should fit the risks you actually face. In Texas, your coverage needs depend on where you live, what your home is worth to rebuild, and how exposed it is to local hazards.
- Dwelling coverage: Make sure your limit matches the cost to rebuild, not just the market price. Replace-your-cost vs. actual-cash-value matters when a claim happens.
- Personal property: Understand your valuation method. Replacement cost pays out more than actual cash value, which factors in depreciation.
- Liability limits: Consider an umbrella policy if your assets exceed standard home coverage limits.
- Texas-specific perils: Hail, wind, and water damage are common here. Know what your policy covers and what requires separate protection.
- Valuable items: Jewelry, art, and collectibles often have sub-limits. Schedule high-value items separately.

Frequently asked questions
How much home insurance do I need in Texas?
Your dwelling limit should match the full cost to rebuild your home, not its market value. Texas construction costs have risen sharply, so review your limit annually.
What perils are covered by standard home insurance?
Standard policies cover fire, wind, hail, lightning, theft, and liability. Flood and earthquake are excluded and require separate coverage.
Does home insurance cover flood damage in Texas?
No. Standard home policies exclude flood damage. Texas homeowners in flood-prone areas should consider a separate NFIP or private flood policy.
