The Right Coverage for Texas Homeowners
When choosing Mercury, you get one of the best homeowners insurance providers in Texas and a local independent agent who works with you to build a custom protection plan tailored to your specific needs.

While Texas is known for its tornadoes and heatwaves, the state also deals with a wide spectrum of other weather conditions. Cities on the Gulf of Mexico like Galveston and Corpus Christi are susceptible to hurricanes and flooding. Texas also experienced a record-setting winter storm in 2021 that left millions of people without power. It’s wise to work with one of the best homeowners insurance companies in Texas, where you'll have an agent to help you pick the right coverage for your situation.
Texas homeowners can also deal with burglaries. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, there were over 108,000 burglaries reported in 2020. If your home gets burglarized, our claims team will get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
