Homeowners insurance prices depend on many factors, including the location and construction of a home, coverage limits, deductibles, claims experience and the cost of rebuilding. Severe weather risk can influence pricing across Texas.
A lower premium does not always mean a better deal. Policies can differ in wind and hail deductibles, replacement-cost provisions, exclusions and coverage for water damage.
Homeowners can review policy declarations, compare like-for-like quotes and consult the Texas Department of Insurance for consumer information. Specific premium increases should be attributed to verified filings or quotes.
