TWIA on track with budget for Hurricane Harvey claims

More than 73,000 claims have been filed with the state’s windstorm insurer of last resort

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association claims to continue to be on course for the anticipated $1.13 billion it has set aside for claims driven by Hurricane Harvey.

Hurricane season ends Nov. 30, and this season has been as active as most years on record, with 17 storms, 10 hurricanes and 6 major hurricanes, including Irma and Harvey. In October, TWIA authorized just over $1 billion for the storm that slammed the Texas coast and has, to date, paid out $823 million.
