About the plan

What is the Texas FAIR Plan?

The Texas FAIR Plan Association (TFPA) provides essential residential property insurance for eligible Texas policyholders when no one else will. It doesn't compete with private insurers.

To qualify, you generally must have been declined by two other insurance companies, and you need an insurance agent to apply.

Along the Texas coast, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) provides windstorm and hail coverage for homes and commercial property. Unquoting can help you put the right coverage together.

The cost of going uninsured

Without insurance, you pay the bill.

These are the average costs of a single homeowners insurance claim. Without coverage, Texas homeowners pay costs like these out of pocket, and a lender may add expensive force-placed insurance to your mortgage.
