Progressive becomes the latest insurer to flee Texas — leaving thousands of residents scrambling for protection

Danielle Antosz October 19, 2024 It's about to get even harder for Texas residents to find insurance coverage for their homes — let alone affordable insurance — as Progressive recently became the fifth major insurer to end or limit its coverage in the state. Texas Insurance Commissioner Cassie Brown, who recently testified at the Texas Capitol on the matter, says insurers appear to be reacting to the rise of weather-related disasters, especially in the wake of the damage caused by Hurricane Beryl. “Several companies are making some decisions to not grow as fast in Texas as they have been in the past,” Brown said, according to a  KVUE report . “It could be that they are either increasing their deductibles. They may say this is a particular area of the state where we’ve seen a lot of losses. So we’re not gonna grow as fast.” Paying too much on home insurance?

Inside the costly new reality of insuring a home in Texas

  By   Megan Kimble  and  Caroline Ghisolfi  |  Dec. 4, 2024 5:00 a.m. When Maryann McGregor retired in 2020, she and her husband considered downsizing and selling their four-bedroom home in Clear Lake to their adult son. The couple had lived there for nearly four decades, and the house was paid off. Then their home insurance bills started to skyrocket. Two carriers stopped providing coverage, and Allstate, which had been charging them $3,300 in 2020, is no longer writing new policies in their zip code. Now they’re paying $8,000 for a policy from a little-known start-up. Their wind and hail deductible has jumped to $28,400 — twice what they paid to replace the roof last year.
