Understanding Hail Risk in Houston
Hail Season
Houston's hail season follows the broader Texas pattern of April – June, when atmospheric instability peaks and supercell thunderstorms become most frequent.
Damage Thresholds
Hail 0.75" or larger damages soft metals (gutters, HVAC). Hail 1.0" damages shingles. Hail 1.5"+ causes catastrophic roof damage across all material types — typically triggering full replacement claims with insurers.
Insurance & Claims
PAs must be licensed under TDI. HB 1774 restricts pre-suit demand letters and mandates notice requirements. No direct solicitation within 72 hours of a weather event; AI-STORMS applies a 72-hour hold automatically.

Does insurance cover hail damage in Texas?
Standard homeowners insurance policies in Texas typically cover hail damage to roofs, siding, and windows under the dwelling coverage section. PAs must be licensed under TDI. HB 1774 restricts pre-suit demand letters and mandates notice requirements. No direct solicitation within 72 hours of a weather event; AI-STORMS applies a 72-hour hold automatically.
How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?
Hail 0.75 inches (dime-size) or larger can dent soft metals like gutters and flashing. Hail 1 inch (quarter-size) or larger typically causes shingle bruising or granule loss that shortens roof life even if not immediately visible. Hail 1.5 inches (golf ball-size) or larger causes obvious structural damage to most roofing materials and is the threshold insurers most commonly accept for full roof replacement claims.
How many hail storms does Houston get per year?
Based on 5-year NOAA data, Houston averages approximately 60 hail events per year (298 events over the last 5 years). Peak hail season in Texas is April – June.
