Risks in the Hill Country

The Hill Country’s weather is water and fire. Choose a risk for what the record shows and the question to ask.

Facts of record from the National Weather Service, NOAA and the Texas A&M Forest Service; the questions follow Texas Department of Insurance guidance.

The Hill Country is the heart of what the National Weather Service calls Flash Flood Alley: steep ground, thin soil over limestone and rain that comes in inches an hour. In July 2025 the Guadalupe River at Kerrville rose more than 30 feet in an hour and a half.

What to askHomeowners insurance generally does not cover flooding, and a home on a creek or a river does not have to sit in a mapped flood zone to flood, so ask about a separate flood policy; most carry a 30-day wait. A vehicle lost at a low-water crossing is a comprehensive claim, so ask whether every vehicle carries it.

Cedar and grass burn in a dry year, and going into 2026 the Texas A&M Forest Service flagged exceptional grass loads across the Hill Country.

What to askFire is a covered peril on most home and farm policies, but fences, outbuildings, stored hay and livestock each carry their own limits, so ask what they are and whether the insurer expects cedar and brush cleared back from the house.

Twenty-seven of the thirty largest fires in Texas history burned between January and May.

Spring storms drop large hail here too; two-inch hail fell near Willow City in Gillespie County in April 2014.

What to askMany Texas home policies set a separate wind and hail deductible as a percentage of the dwelling limit, so ask what yours comes to in dollars and whether the roof is paid at replacement cost or actual cash value.
