Progressive Halts New Homeowners Insurance Policies in Texas

Major carriers have been pulling back from high-risk markets, and Texas homeowners are feeling the effects. When an insurer pauses new policies or limits coverage, it reshapes the options available to property owners across the state.

What This Means for Homeowners

Carrier pullbacks tighten the market, often pushing rates up and leaving fewer choices for new buyers and those shopping for better coverage. Existing policyholders may also see stricter renewal terms, higher deductibles, or reduced coverage limits at their next renewal.

How to Protect Yourself

• Read your renewal documents carefully and flag any changes in coverage or deductibles.
• Maintain your roof and systems; insurers increasingly inspect before renewing.
• Keep thorough documentation of your home's condition and improvements.
• Do not let coverage lapse, even briefly, while shopping for a new policy.
