Why Mobile Home Insurance Matters in Texas
Texas covers a vast geographic area, from the Gulf Coast and Piney Woods to the Hill Country, Panhandle, and West Texas desert. Mobile and manufactured homeowners may face different weather and property risks depending on location.
Gulf Coast communities, including Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, and the Rio Grande Valley, may experience hurricanes, tropical storms, damaging winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall. North Texas communities, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton, and Wichita Falls, may face tornadoes, large hail, and severe thunderstorms.
Central Texas communities, including Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country, may experience flash flooding, hailstorms, severe thunderstorms, and extreme heat. The Texas Panhandle and West Texas regions, including Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, and El Paso, may face strong winds, hail, wildfires, and temperature extremes. Winter freezes can also affect communities throughout Texas.
Explore Coverage OptionsTexas Property Risks to Consider
- Gulf Coast hurricanes and tropical storms
- Tornadoes and damaging straight-line winds
- Large hail and severe thunderstorms
- Flash flooding and river flooding
- Coastal storm surge and heavy rainfall
- Winter freezes, frozen pipes, and wildfires
Important: Certain wind, hail, fire, and freezing-related losses may be covered under qualifying policies, subject to exclusions, limits, and deductibles. Coastal flooding, storm surge, and inland flooding generally require separate flood insurance.
Texas Hurricane, Windstorm, Hail, and Flood Insurance Considerations
Texas manufactured homeowners should carefully review their policies for hurricane-related wind, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, large hail, and winter freeze losses. In some Texas coastal areas, windstorm and hail coverage may be excluded from certain property insurance policies or may require separate coverage through an eligible insurance provider or the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Coverage through TWIA is subject to eligibility, property requirements, and policy conditions. Windstorm or hurricane deductibles may also apply. Flooding caused by storm surge, rising water, overflowing rivers, or heavy rainfall is generally excluded from standard mobile home insurance policies. Separate flood insurance may be needed for qualifying flood risks. Review all coverage terms, deductibles, and exclusions before purchasing a policy.
Insuring Older and Newer Manufactured Homes in Texas
Texas manufactured housing includes single-wide homes, double-wide homes, older mobile homes, and properties located in manufactured home communities or on privately owned land.
Manufactured homes built on or after June 15, 1976, are generally subject to federal HUD manufactured housing construction standards. Older mobile homes may face different underwriting guidelines or more limited coverage options.
Insurance companies may consider construction year, roof condition, foundation and anchoring, windstorm and hail exposure, coastal location, occupancy, and previous claims when determining eligibility and pricing.
