Texas storm claim rules
Reporting: Texas: report promptly. Many current Texas homeowners policies require you to report property damage within 1 year of the date of loss, some carriers apply that as a hard claim-filing deadline.
Deadline: General guidance: since the 2017 reforms (Insurance Code Ch. 542A), the window to sue on many weather claims is commonly around 2 years, and Texas's breach-of-contract limit is 4 years, but your policy's terms and required pre-suit notice control. Verify your specific deadline; do not rely on this figure.
Deductibles: Texas wind/hail policies frequently carry a separate percentage deductible (often 1%–2% of dwelling coverage) instead of a flat amount.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Texas Department of Insurance (tdi.texas.gov). See the Texas storm damage hub for statewide claim guidance.
