No Texas law requires it, but mortgage lenders almost always do, and they can buy costly force-placed coverage if your policy lapses.

Homeowners policies exclude flood, so it takes a separate NFIP or private flood policy. Only about 1 in 115 Tarrant County homes carries NFIP coverage. New NFIP policies usually take 30 days to start.

Tarrant County has been included in 7 natural-hazard major disaster declarations since 2000. The most recent was Severe Winter Storms, declared in February 2021. FEMA assistance is capped and is not a substitute for insurance.

Tarrant County had 465 hail reports in NOAA’s records for 2016 to 2025, 380 of them with stones an inch or larger. FEMA’s National Risk Index rates the county’s hail risk very high. Roof age, roof material and the wind and hail deductible drive most of the price difference between quotes.

A flat-dollar deductible usually costs more in premium but is easier to budget. With 380 reports of inch-plus hail in Tarrant County from 2016 through 2025, it is worth pricing both options.

No. TWIA only writes in the 14 first-tier coastal counties and part of Harris County, and Tarrant County is not among them. Your homeowners carrier covers wind and hail.
