Windstorm insurance inspections under this program must be made by either a Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) inspector or an engineer who has been appointed by the Commissioner of Insurance.
Important: TDI inspectors are unable to inspect a property after construction is completed. Therefore, all inspections must be made during the construction phase.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please visit the TDI website at: www.tdi.texas.gov/wind or call Windstorm Inspections Program: 1-800-248-6032.
