  • Record Keeping: Keep a detailed record of all interactions with your  insurance agency. Be ready to provide specific information about the  damage. If you require immediate financial assistance, inquire about the  possibility of an advance payment from your agent.
  • Understanding Deductibles: If you’ve experienced consecutive storms,  it’s important to read our TDI statement regarding deductibles in such  scenarios.
  • Filing Your Claim: Promptly file your claim. To ensure your rights are  protected under Texas’ prompt-pay law, follow up your phone call with a  written claim. If your vehicle was damaged and you have comprehensive  coverage, remember to contact your auto insurance company as well.
