Condo Insurance in Texas
Condo insurance is HO-6 coverage for Texas condominium unit owners that protects personal property, interior improvements, loss of use, and personal liability. It does not cover the building structure, roof, exterior walls, or shared common areas. Texas rules require alignment with the condominium association master policy declarations.

Overview

What Condo Insurance Covers in Texas
Your unit interior, belongings, and liability — not the building shell
Condo insurance, often sold as an HO-6 policy, covers your personal belongings inside the unit, interior finishes and improvements you own (such as flooring, cabinets, and built-ins), and your personal liability if someone is injured in your unit or you cause property damage. It does not cover the building exterior, roof, foundation, or shared common areas — those sit on your condo association’s master policy.
In Texas that split matters. Hail, windstorms, and severe thunderstorms routinely damage interiors and personal property even when the association’s walls stay intact, so your HO-6 is what stands between you and out-of-pocket repair and replacement costs for what you own inside the unit.
Steve White Insurance Group helps Texas condo owners match those interior and liability limits to the association’s master policy so gaps between the two policies do not leave you exposed after a storm or a claim.
Key Decisions When Buying Condo Insurance
Limits, deductibles, and add-ons
Your condo policy’s personal property limit should reflect what it would cost to replace your belongings—not what you paid years ago. A higher liability limit can offer more protection if someone is injured in your unit, but it also tends to raise the premium, so balance coverage needs against your budget.
Deductibles work the same way: a higher deductible can lower what you pay each year, yet you will owe more out of pocket after a covered loss. In Texas, some carriers also apply separate deductibles for wind or hail, so it helps to know which events trigger which amount before you buy.
Common add-ons include loss assessment coverage (for your share of a master-policy claim the association passes to owners), water backup or sewer backup, scheduled personal property for high-value items, and extra living expense if a covered loss forces you out temporarily. Condo association master policies typically cover the building structure, not your interior finishes, furniture, or liability inside the unit—so those gaps are what your HO-6 is meant to fill.
Steve White Insurance Group can walk you through these trade-offs across multiple carriers and help you match limits and endorsements to how you live, without steering you toward a one-size policy.
| Coverage | Purpose | How it pairs with your condo policy |
|---|---|---|
| Personal umbrella | Extra liability above your condo limits | Helps when a lawsuit or injury claim exceeds HO-6 liability |
| Renters insurance | Personal property and liability for tenants | Useful if you rent your unit to others or occupy a leased condo |
| Homeowners insurance | Dwelling, belongings, and liability for a house | Different structure than condo (HO-6); not a substitute for unit walls and shared building risks |
| High-value home | Higher limits and broader terms for costly property | Fits luxury or high-end condo units that need elevated coverage |
| Dwelling fire | Fire and named-peril protection on the structure | Can supplement investment or secondary condo units with limited occupancy |

What does condo insurance cover in Texas?
Condo insurance (an HO-6 policy) covers your personal property, interior finishes and improvements you own inside the unit, and your personal liability for injuries or damage you cause. It does not replace your HOA master policy, which typically covers the building structure and common areas. Steve White Insurance Group helps you match interior and personal-property limits to how your association’s master policy is written.
Do I still need condo insurance if my HOA has a master policy?
Yes. The master policy generally stops at the building shell and shared spaces; it does not insure your furniture, electronics, clothing, or most interior upgrades. Without your own HO-6, a water leak, theft, or guest injury inside your unit can leave those costs on you. An independent agent at Steve White Insurance Group can review what your association covers so you are not buying gaps or duplicates.
How much interior and personal-property coverage should I buy?
Limits depend on the value of your belongings, the cost to rebuild your unit’s interior finishes, and how your HOA master policy defines unit boundaries. Underinsuring interior walls, floors, or cabinets can leave a large out-of-pocket bill after a claim; overinsuring wastes premium. Steve White Insurance Group can compare options from carriers such as Travelers, Nationwide, Progressive, and Chubb so you see trade-offs before you bind.
Does condo insurance cover wind, hail, and water damage in Texas?
Wind and hail are common Texas exposures and are often included, subject to your deductible and policy form; flood from rising water is a separate exposure and is not part of a standard HO-6. Sudden plumbing leaks may be covered for your interior and belongings, while gradual seepage or maintenance issues usually are not. Deductibles, especially for wind or hail, can differ by carrier and location, so compare forms carefully.
Why buy condo insurance through an independent agency instead of one carrier?
A direct insurer sells only its own product. Steve White Insurance Group is independent, with access to 13 carriers including AIG, Allstate, AmTrust North America, Centauri, Chubb, Encompass, Germania, National General, Nationwide, Progressive, The Hartford, Travelers, and Universal North America.
