Scheduled Items

Jewelry, art & the things a policy quietly caps

A homeowners policy covers your belongings, but it treats a handful of categories differently: it pays up to a category limit no matter what the item was actually worth. A scheduled personal property rider lifts those pieces out of the cap and insures them individually, at a figure agreed in advance. It is an endorsement on the policy you already have, not a second policy.

✓
Jewelry & Watches
Engagement rings, inherited pieces, a watch that was a milestone. Unscheduled, these share one low four-figure theft cap between them — not each.
✓
Fine Art & Antiques
Paintings, sculpture, period furniture. An appraisal fixes what the piece is worth before a loss, so nobody is reconstructing it from photographs afterward.
✓
Silver, China & Flatware
Sets that came down through a family or were assembled over years. Replacement is priced at today’s market, which is rarely close to what they originally cost.
✓
Firearms
Sporting and collectible guns, which carry their own category limit on most home forms and are among the first things taken in a burglary.
✓
Cameras & Instruments
Professional bodies and glass, or an instrument that leaves the house for rehearsals and gigs — away from home is exactly where the base policy thins out.
✓
Coins, Stamps & Cards
Collections grow quietly. The cap that covered one comfortably at the start is often the same cap ten years and several acquisitions later.

Riders are usually inexpensive relative to what they protect, and a scheduled item is generally covered for more causes of loss than the base policy answers for. If the collection is large enough to outgrow an endorsement, it moves onto its own contract — see specialty insurance.

Across Texas

What’s distinct about homeowners insurance in Texas

Texas is large enough that the right home policy depends a lot on where you live. A few of the patterns we see across the state:

North Texas

Hail Country

DFW and the broader North Texas region are among the most active hail corridors in the country. Spring storm seasons reliably produce roof damage, and homeowners coverage here needs to take that seriously.

Gulf Coast

Hurricane & Flood

Houston, Corpus Christi, and the entire Gulf Coast deal with hurricane season every year. Wind, water, and surge are real factors, and many coastal Texas homeowners need flood and windstorm coverage beyond a standard policy.

Hill Country & Beyond

Flash Flooding & Wind

Central Texas topography means flash flooding can come fast in the Hill Country. The Panhandle and West Texas see severe wind and the occasional tornado. Different parts of the state, different risk mix — we know the local context.

FAQ

Common questions about Texas homeowners insurance

How much does homeowners insurance cost in Texas?
Texas is one of the pricier states for homeowners insurance, largely because of hail and wind exposure. Your specific premium depends on the home’s value, age, and location, the roof’s age and material, your claims history, and the deductibles you choose. The roof and the wind/hail deductible are usually the two biggest levers — a local quote takes a few minutes and gives you a real number instead of a statewide average. And if one proposal lands far below the others, that gap is worth explaining before you sign it — we cover what usually causes it.
What does a standard Texas homeowners policy cover?
The typical policy covers the dwelling itself, detached structures, your personal property, personal liability, and additional living expenses if a covered event makes the home unlivable. Wind and hail are generally covered, usually subject to a separate deductible. Our Texas homeowners coverage guide walks through what’s included and what commonly isn’t.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
No — rising water is excluded from homeowners policies everywhere, including Texas. Flood protection is a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program or private flood carriers, and it’s worth pricing even outside mapped flood zones: a large share of flood claims come from properties outside high-risk areas.
What is a wind/hail deductible?
Many Texas policies carry a separate deductible for wind and hail claims, usually expressed as 1–5% of your dwelling coverage rather than a flat dollar amount. On a $400,000 home, a 2% wind/hail deductible means $8,000 out of pocket on a hail claim. Knowing that number before storm season — and deciding whether it’s the right one — is one of the most valuable five-minute conversations you can have with your agent.
Will filing a claim raise my rates?
Claims history does affect pricing, which is why it rarely makes sense to file for damage close to your deductible. Our advice: call your agent before filing. We’ll help you weigh whether the damage justifies a claim, and a claim you don’t file is one that never shows up in your history.
How can I lower my homeowners premium?
The reliable levers: bundle home and auto with one carrier (usually the largest single discount), consider an impact-resistant roof when it’s time to replace, raise deductibles to the highest amount you could comfortably absorb, and review the policy annually so you’re not paying for outdated assumptions. We do that review with clients as a matter of course.
Beyond the House

Toys, trailers & recreational coverage

The boat, the camper, the four-wheeler in the garage — the things a homeowners policy barely touches each deserve a policy of their own.
