The Texas Department of Insurance advised on Apr. 15 that residents should review their insurance coverage as spring storms approach. The department said the transition from cool to warm weather in Texas often brings severe thunderstorms and hail, increasing the risk of property damage.
Spring is known for its unpredictable weather patterns, which can lead to significant losses if homeowners are not adequately prepared. Reviewing insurance policies before storms hit can help Texans avoid complications when filing claims after a storm.
The department encouraged people to ensure their insurance policies are up-to-date and to ask questions if they are unsure about their coverage. For assistance, the Texas Department of Insurance provides a Help Line at 800-252-3439, available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time.
As weather conditions continue to shift rapidly during the spring months, staying informed and prepared may help minimize potential losses caused by severe storms.
