When shopping for a homeowners policy, Texas homeowners will want to keep in mind:

When purchasing home insurance, you will want to insure your home based on its replacement cost – not its market value. The amount needed to build a home often outweighs the cost of purchasing a new one so you’ll want to make sure you have enough coverage!
Liability insurance applies to accidents and mishaps in your home in which you are at fault. The result could be a guest in your home was injured. This personal liability coverage would help cover medical expenses, as well as damage you may have caused to a neighbor’s property. Personal liability coverage will also help cover any legal fees should you be sued, up to your policy limits. Most homeowners policies will come with a minimum coverage amount of $100,000 – which typically is not enough! Most insurance carriers and those in the industry suggest homeowners carry personal lability coverage in their homeowners insurance up to $300,000.
When building your policy, be sure to select a dwelling coverage limit that allows you to match the cost to repair damage to your home or rebuild it completely at a quality equal to what it was prior to the damage.
You might be asking yourself – what’s the difference in personal liability coverage and medical payments coverage? As mentioned, personal liability coverage will cover medical expenses for anyone injured in your home when you are considered at fault. Medical payments coverage will cover any medical bills for an injury that takes place in your home or on your property, regardless of who is at fault.
