Texas storm activity in 2026
From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 58 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of the Texas cities we track. The largest stone near a tracked city was 4.50 inches (4 ESE Godley, Johnson Co., TX, April 28, 2026).[3] Reports can overlap between nearby cities and are not a damage survey.
Common roofs and code notes in Texas
Asphalt shingles dominate, and hail is the main roof killer here, so many homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal. Summer heat and spring wind also age roofs. Permits come from your city or county building department.
Texas rules homeowners should know
You must pay your deductible
Texas law requires the insured to pay the deductible. It is a Class B misdemeanor for a seller to waive, absorb, or rebate it, and contracts of $1,000 or more paid from insurance must carry a boldface notice saying so. Insurers may ask for proof you paid it before releasing recoverable depreciation. [4][5][6]
Your roofer cannot be your adjuster
Texas does not allow a contractor doing the work to act as a public adjuster on the same claim, or to advertise that they will. [7]
