Issue Position: Windstorm Insurance

Issue Position

Windstorm insurance affordability and fairness are important to the Coastal Bend. High rates and low coverage impacts our area. It is important that our region can afford windstorm insurance, and our state government must make sure it is protected and treated fairly.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA)was created as an insurer of last resort for Coastal residents and businesses who cannot obtain insurance otherwise. TWIA needs to be fair and more attentive to the needs of the Texas Coast. TWIA should be helping the Coastal Bend, not raising insurance rates.

Keep windstorm insurance affordable.
Protect access to windstorm insurance for businesses and homeowners.
Support coastal windstorm proposals that are fair and affordable and review alternatives like a statewide catastrophe plan for the entire state.
