Flood coverage is far from universal: 4,999 residential NFIP policies in Tarrant County, or about 1 per 115 homes. Policyholders in the county have filed 458 NFIP claims since 2016.

Sansom Park hazard and coverage questions
How common are hailstorms in Tarrant County?
From 2016 through 2025, NOAA logged 465 hail reports in Tarrant County, 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.
Does TWIA cover homes in Sansom Park?
No. Tarrant County is outside TWIA’s designated catastrophe area, so wind and hail are covered by the homeowners policy itself, usually with a separate wind and hail deductible.
What wind and hail deductible should I choose in Sansom Park?
A percentage deductible is calculated on your dwelling limit; for example, 2% of a $300,000 dwelling limit is $6,000 out of pocket per wind or hail claim. A flat-dollar deductible usually costs more in premium but is easier to budget. Tarrant County logged 380 reports of hail an inch or larger from 2016 through 2025, so run the numbers both ways.
Does Texas law require home insurance in Sansom Park?
Only your lender can require it; Texas itself does not. If the home is paid off, the choice is yours, but one serious storm or fire can cost far more than years of premiums.
