INSURANCE IN TEXAS
Texas insurance can change depending on what and where you are protecting.
Drivers have state liability requirements and important choices around PIP and uninsured motorist coverage. Along the Gulf Coast, homeowners may need to think about home, flood, and wind coverage separately. Texas businesses also operate under workers’ compensation rules that differ from most states.
You do not need to know every policy term before asking for help. Understanding which Texas-specific issue applies to your situation gives the insurance request a better starting point.

Start with 30/60/25, then understand what it does not cover.
Most Texas drivers satisfy the state’s financial responsibility requirement by carrying liability insurance. Texas also has important rules around Personal Injury Protection and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
TEXAS MINIMUM AUTO LIABILITY
Texas commonly refers to these minimum liability limits as 30/60/25. Verify current requirements with the Texas Department of Insurance.
Personal Injury Protection is included unless you reject it.
Texas auto policies include PIP coverage. If you do not want it, you must tell the insurance company in writing.
Insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
This coverage can help when the responsible driver has no insurance or not enough insurance. If you do not want it, Texas requires written rejection.
Does minimum liability coverage pay to repair my own car?
No. Liability coverage pays for covered injuries or property damage you cause to other people. Coverage for damage to your own vehicle involves other coverages, such as collision or comprehensive.
Can a lender require more coverage?
Yes. If you finance a vehicle, your lender can require collision and comprehensive coverage as a condition of the loan.
What should I have ready for a Texas auto request?
Helpful information includes your ZIP code, vehicle year and model, drivers, current insurance status, estimated mileage, recent accidents or violations, the coverage you are exploring, and when you want the policy to begin.
TEXAS HOME INSURANCE
In Texas, home, flood, and wind can be three different insurance questions.
Property insurance can work differently depending on where you live. Flood damage generally requires separate flood coverage, and some Gulf Coast properties may also need separate wind and hail protection.
HOME
Your homeowners policy is the starting point.
Home policies can cover the house, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses for covered losses, but the exact policy language, exclusions, limits, and deductibles matter.
Texas home insurance guideFLOOD
Most homeowners policies do not cover flooding.
Rising-water flood damage generally requires separate flood insurance. Flood coverage may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers.

Some Texas coastal properties need a separate wind path.
Home policies on parts of the Texas coast may not include wind and hail coverage. TWIA provides a wind and hail insurance path for eligible coastal properties.
Texas Windstorm Insurance AssociationOTHER TEXAS INSURANCE NEEDS
Different insurance needs call for different questions.
Renters, business owners, families, and people looking for health insurance do not need the same information or the same request path.
RENTERS
Your landlord’s policy does not replace renters insurance.
Renters insurance can protect eligible personal belongings and provide liability and additional living expense coverage, depending on the policy. The building itself is generally insured by the property owner.
Start Texas renters requestBUSINESS
Texas treats workers’ compensation differently from most states.
Most Texas private employers can choose whether to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Important exceptions and contractual requirements can apply, including certain work involving government entities.
LIFE
Life insurance should start with your actual financial picture.
There is no universal coverage amount for every Texas household. Income, debts, dependents, existing protection, future obligations, and the type of policy being considered can all matter.
Start Texas life requestHEALTH
Texans use the federal Health Insurance Marketplace.
HealthCare.gov is the official federal Marketplace used by Texas residents for Marketplace individual and family health plans. Eligibility, savings, enrollment periods, and available plans depend on the individual situation.

Clear answers to common Texas insurance questions.
These answers provide general information. Actual policy terms, eligibility, price, available coverage, and individual insurance needs depend on the situation and licensed review.
What auto insurance does Texas require?
Texas requires drivers to show they can pay for accidents they cause. Most drivers meet that requirement with liability insurance of at least $30,000 for bodily injury to one person, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. This is commonly called 30/60/25.
Is PIP required in Texas?
Texas auto policies include Personal Injury Protection coverage unless you reject it in writing. PIP can pay covered medical bills, lost wages, and certain other nonmedical costs after an accident.
Is uninsured motorist coverage required in Texas?
Insurance companies must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. If you choose not to have it, Texas requires a written rejection.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Texas?
Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. Flood insurance is a separate coverage path and may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurance companies.
Do Texas coastal homeowners need separate wind insurance?
Some homeowners policies on the Texas coast do not include wind and hail coverage. Eligible coastal property owners may need a separate wind and hail policy, including coverage available through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
Is workers’ compensation required for every Texas business?
No. Most private employers in Texas can choose whether to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Exceptions and other requirements can apply, including certain government contracts, so businesses should verify the rules that apply to their situation.
Where do Texans get Marketplace health insurance?
Texas residents use HealthCare.gov for the federal Health Insurance Marketplace. Available plans, eligibility, financial assistance, and enrollment timing depend on the individual or household.
Does Ensurance compare instant Texas insurance prices?
Ensurance starts with one protected insurance request, organizes the details, and helps move the request toward licensed review and available options where appropriate.
Will my request be sent to a long list of agents?
Ensurance uses a controlled request process. Protected requests follow the applicable controlled-access workflow toward eligible licensed review where available.
Does starting a request guarantee an insurance quote?
No. Quote availability depends on factors including coverage type, location, eligibility, carrier participation, underwriting, and licensed review.
Do I have to buy anything after I start?
No. Starting an Ensurance request does not commit you to purchasing insurance. You can review an available next step and decide whether you want to continue.
