Dear Agent,

Though Tropical Storm Harvey has crossed the boundaries of 80 degrees west longitude and 20 degrees north latitude, it has not yet been declared a hurricane by the United States Weather Bureau.

Should that happen, we will place a moratorium on accepting applications for new and increased coverage and notify agents immediately. Up until that time any policy that has been properly submitted to TWIA with payment will be eligible for coverage based on all underwriting guidelines.

This moratorium would remain in effect until the TWIA General Manager determines that the storm no longer threatens property within the designated catastrophe area of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.

We will keep you updated as Harvey develops. You may also visit our website or follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on this storm and TWIA’s response to it.

Sincerely,

Texas Windstorm Insurance Association
