    After the cost of tuition and books, a lot of college students may not be so eager to spend even more money to buy renters’ insurance. This might, usually, be a mistake. For a student living on-campus, they’re not probably worried about renters insurance. That is if their parents’ homeowner’s policy will cover any loss or damage to personal items. But, verify if the parents’ […]

    Why do you buy Auto Insurance?  “I have to” may be your response and that is so true.  Most states require auto liability insurance and almost all lenders require collision and other than collision coverage (the so-called “Full Coverage” option) on your car insurance. So, “I have to” is a great reason but there is an even better reason….

If you are looking for an insurance agency you can trust, look no further than Hettler Insurance. Meghan and the team are refreshingly professional and easy to work with. I was with my previous insurance agency for two... years, but they were no match for Meghan at Hettler. She was able to find the same policy/coverage with a significantly lower premium (with the potential for even more savings after 90 days). Every one of the staff is courteous, attentive, and helpful. Thanks Meghan and everyone at Hettler!read more

A friend recommended Hettler Insurance Agency for my family’s health insurance last year. As new immigrants, we got totally lost with what we can choose and how. Mr. Hettler has been so patient to us with full... explanation of the policies and all the guidance we need. We are very thankful to him with the insurance package we get. This is the company where the staff are very friendly and they always know what the customers need.read more

Ron Hettler and his staff are the best. I have used Ron for personal and business insurance for 20+ years, with no regrets. Recently he helped me sign up for Medicare supplemental insurance. We spent a good hour going... over the endless inane paperwork, even though I know his compensation for this is next to nothing. Good people, good insurance.read more

Most Texas small-business owners buy a general liability policy, file it away, and never look at it again — until a claim arrives. By then it is often too late to fix the gaps.Ron Hettler, CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) walks through what your GL policy actually does — and does NOT — cover, with real-world claim examples:🚑 Bodily injury — Customer slips on your retail floor and breaks a wrist. Slip-and-fall settlements can top $25,000 once medical bills and legal fees stack up. Your GL pays medical AND legal defense costs — even when you are not at fault.🏠 Property damage — Flooring contractor cracks a client's custom tile. HVAC tech drops a tool through a drywall ceiling. Landscaping crew severs an irrigation line. GL covers third-party property, NOT your own truck, tools, or equipment (that is commercial property or inland marine).⏱️ Completed operations — A roofer who finishes a job in March could face a water damage claim in June if the flashing was improperly sealed. Confirm completed operations is included — it is a critical, sometimes-overlooked piece of a GL policy.📢 Advertising injury — Defamation, copyright, false arrest. A competitor sues over a social media post. A photographer sues over an unlicensed stock image. Defense costs alone can hit $5,000-$45,000 — and your GL pays them even if you win.⚠️ Aggregate limits are the trap — Occurrence limit is per claim. Aggregate is the ceiling for the ENTIRE YEAR. Once you hit $2M aggregate, additional claims are NOT covered until renewal. A busy contractor with multiple claims can drain aggregate without realizing it.🚫 What GL does NOT cover — Professional mistakes (need professional liability / E&O), employee injuries (need workers' comp), your own business property, and cyber incidents. GL is not a catch-all.Costs range from $300-$600/year for low-risk solo operators to $2,000-$8,500 for high-risk trades. Standard limits: $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Read every client contract BEFORE you sign — many require specific limits, additional insured endorsements, and certificates of insurance you may not have.Get Better.

Your homeowners policy does not cover flood damage. Period. Not even a little bit. Not from a burst pipe backing up into your slab, not from a storm surge, not from a Flash Flood Alley cloudburst.Ron Hettler, CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) breaks down what every Texas homeowner needs to know about flood insurance in 2026:🌊 40% of NFIP claims come from OUTSIDE high-risk zones — "I'm in Zone X, I don't need it" is the mistake that wipes out equity. Texas clay soils, flat terrain, and intense rainfall make flood conditions possible almost anywhere in the state — including Lubbock, Midland, and Amarillo.⏳ 30-day waiting period is a hard stop — Buy flood insurance NOW, not when a named storm shows up on the radar. The only exception is a policy required at mortgage closing. If a storm watch is issued, it is already too late.💰 NFIP caps at $250K building / $100K contents — For most Texas homes today, that is not enough. Private flood insurance often goes to $500K+ building / $250K+ contents, adds additional living expenses (NFIP does NOT cover ALE), and waits are often just 10-14 days.📏 Elevation certificates can slash your premium — A survey documenting your home's elevation vs. Base Flood Elevation can lower premiums and sometimes remove mandatory purchase requirements entirely. The few hundred dollars often pays for itself the first year.🏙️ CRS discounts up to 45% — Houston, San Antonio, and Austin participate in FEMA's Community Rating System. If your city qualifies, your NFIP premium can drop up to 45%.📋 NFIP requires you to elect BOTH separately — Building coverage and contents coverage are two different NFIP elections. Buy only one and you find out too late.Average Texas NFIP premium: $779/year. Most homeowners pay $400-$1,200. High-risk coastal can exceed $5,000. What is guaranteed to be higher than any of those numbers? The bill you pay if you skip coverage.Get Better.
