Understanding Your Scope

Your Insurance Can’t Penalize You for Filing

Many homeowners are hesitant to file a claim — but Texas law protects you:

  • Your insurer cannot raise your rate for a single hail claim
  • You’re entitled to request an inspection if you suspect damage
  • Having pre-storm documentation helps establish a clear case
