The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is the state's insurer of last resort for wind and hail coverage in the fourteen (14) coastal counties and parts of Harris County (east of Highway 146). TWIA provides wind and hail coverage when insurance companies exclude it from their homeowners and other property policies sold to coastal residents. Our organization is committed to promoting hurricane safety and education, together with the development and enforcement of coastal building codes, in an effort to save lives and property.
