Texas Insurance Department: Harvey Claims Reporting Deadline Approaching

As the anniversary of Hurricane Harvey approaches, the Texas Department of Insurance is reminding Texans that some insurance policies have a one-year deadline to file claims.

Harvey made landfall August 25. Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) claims must be reported by the one-year anniversary of the date the damage occurred unless the policyholder can show good cause for the delay.

To file a TWIA claim, go to www.twia.org or call 1-800-788-8247.

Some other insurance policies also have a one-year deadline to file claims unless the policyholder can show good cause for the delay.
