Home Insurance in Texas

Two things surprise a lot of Bedford homeowners once they read their policy. First, standard homeowners insurance excludes flood damage everywhere in the country, including Texas, so it has to be added through a separate flood policy. Second, most Texas policies also exclude foundation damage caused by normal soil movement, and Tarrant County sits on some of the most expansive clay soil in the nation. Knowing what your policy leaves out is just as important as knowing what it includes.

What a Standard Home Policy Covers

Your dwelling and attached structures, such as a garage or covered patio
Detached structures like fences, sheds, and pools
Personal property inside your home, including furniture and electronics
Liability protection if someone is injured on your property
Additional living expenses if a covered loss forces you out of your home temporarily

From there, endorsements can round out your protection. Many Bedford homeowners add coverage for foundation movement, water backup, or scheduled personal property like jewelry, since these are common gaps in a base policy.
