Natural hazard risk in Harris County

FEMA rates the overall natural hazard risk in Harris County, where most Houston agencies we list are located, as Very High compared with other U.S. counties. The hazards it rates highest:

HurricaneVery High
Home policies that cover wind often carry a separate hurricane deductible, set as a percentage of the home’s insured value (typically 1% to 5%). Flooding from the storm needs a flood policy.

Inland floodingVery High
Most home and renters policies do not cover flood damage. Flood cover is a separate policy, from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer, and an NFIP policy usually starts 30 days after you buy it.

Car insurance rules in Texas

Texas requires drivers to carry at least $30,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $60,000 per accident and $25,000 of property damage liability, often written 30/60/25.

These are legal minimums, not a recommendation: a serious crash can cost far more, and anything above your limits is yours to pay.
