What is Home Insurance?
In basic terms, homeowners insurance will protect you in the event a disaster or an accident affects your home. It will cover the structure itself (your house) along with what’s inside (your belongings).
When it comes to what can be covered, the spectrum is really quite broad. Homeowners insurance can protect you in the case of storms, fallen trees, or others. It covers your loss from burglary and is even your personal liability protection if someone is injured on your property.
Why Get Home Insurance?
Your home is your happy place, your safe space making it your most valuable possession. From raising a family to simply relaxing at the end of a long hard day, it’s the one place you probably couldn’t live without. It’s also important to cover everything inside your property, from high-tech gadgets to sentimental jewelry, which can be just as important
Is Home Insurance Legally Required in Texas?
In most cases, obtaining home insurance is not legally required in Texas, but you might be contractually obligated to get homeowners insurance by your mortgage provider or condo association.
Generally, having home insurance coverage is highly recommended to help you recover should the worst occur.

This is the most basic policy, and coverage includes protection for specific ‘named perils’ such as fire and vandalism. It only covers items that are specifically named. If the type of claim is not named, the claim will not be covered.
- HOA+
(Expanded version of the HOA)
This expanded policy covers everything in the HOA basic plan unless specifically excluded, plus additional Named Perils.
- HO3

This is the most frequently purchased homeowner insurance policy. It provides broader coverage for various types of losses that can cause damages to your home/possessions and includes personal liability coverage. There are fewer exclusions than the HOA+ policy and the coverage amounts are higher for certain items.
- HOB
(Texas Form Open Peril)
This HOB is similar to the HO3 policy; they provide coverage for your home on an Open Perils bases, but the HOB also provides additional water damage protection.
How Much is Home Insurance In Texas?
