Under Texas Special Provisions for Homeowners, claim deadlines are extended by how many days if the claim results from a weather-related catastrophe?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 30

Answer: (B)

When a weather-related catastrophe strikes, Texas Special Provisions for Homeowners grant a 15-day extension to claim deadlines. This extra time helps policyholders who are dealing with displacement, access issues, or difficulties in inspecting and documenting damage after a disaster. The purpose is to prevent penalties for delays caused by the disaster, not to change the fundamental requirement to file a claim. So the extended window is 15 days from the usual deadline. Other numeric options don’t fit this provision, which specifically uses a 15-day extension. Always verify the exact wording in the policy, as language can vary by insurer.
