Insurance Companies Cannot Reject Coverage Based Only on Roof Age
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has clarified that insurance companies cannot deny or refuse to renew home insurance policies solely based on the age of a home or its roof. Decisions must be based on the physical condition of the home’s components, including roofing and plumbing. This rule aims to ensure fair access to home insurance for Texans, regardless of age. Insurance Commissioner Amanda Crawford emphasized the importance of transparency in the insurance market. This clarification follows Governor Greg Abbott's directive to support Texas homeowners and make insurance more affordable. For inquiries, contact the TDI Help Line at 800-252-3439.
