Additional Coverages & Endorsements – Customize Your Texas Homeowners Policy
Title:
Beyond the Basics: Optional Homeowners Insurance Coverages Every Texan Should Consider
Intro:
Your standard Texas homeowners insurance policy offers solid protection—but is it enough for your lifestyle? Standard coverage may not include water backup, identity theft, or extended replacement cost. These are called endorsements, and they can make all the difference after a disaster. At Tony Castle Insurance Agency, we help you build a policy as unique as your home.
What Are Endorsements (Optional Coverages)?
Endorsements, or policy add-ons, provide extra protection for situations not fully covered under a standard policy. They help close coverage gaps so you’re not left vulnerable.
