Windstorm insurance on Matagorda Bay
Port O'Connor is a fishing and boating town in Calhoun County where Matagorda Bay meets Espiritu Santo Bay. Many homes are elevated bay houses, canal homes and weekend getaways, and nearly all of them sit close to open water. That makes wind and hail coverage essential.
A real Port O'Connor quote
We recently quoted a 2,021 square foot home built in 2025 in Port O'Connor at about $2,726 a year from a private carrier. That was a single policy covering hazard, wind, hail and hurricane (flood not included), with a 2% wind and hail deductible and a 1% deductible for other losses. Newer elevated homes built to current code often get the best pricing. See more examples on our windstorm cost page.
Second homes and rentals
Many Port O'Connor homes are not lived in full time. Tell us how the home is used. Some carriers limit coverage for vacant or seasonal homes, and short-term rentals usually need a policy designed for rental use.
TWIA coverage in Port O'Connor
Calhoun County is one of TWIA's first-tier coastal counties. If private carriers will not write your home, TWIA can provide wind and hail coverage. It generally requires a private-market declination, a windstorm certificate where one applies, and a home in good repair.
Flood insurance near the water
Storm surge is a major risk in Port O'Connor, and windstorm insurance does not cover it. Many homes are in high-risk flood zones, and TWIA requires flood insurance for some V-zone homes built or changed on or after September 1, 2009. Learn more about flood insurance.

Port O'Connor Windstorm Insurance FAQs
No law requires it, but if you have a mortgage, your lender will require wind and hail coverage. Port O'Connor is in Calhoun County, and many homeowners policies in the Texas coastal counties exclude wind and hail, so most Port O'Connor homeowners need either a separate windstorm policy or a homeowners policy that includes wind. Without it, a hurricane or hailstorm could leave you paying for roof and structural damage yourself.
There is no single price. Your premium depends on your home's exact location, age and construction, roof type and age, coverage amount, and deductible. As one real example, we recently quoted a 2025-built, 2,021 square foot Port O'Connor home at about $2,726 a year for a private policy that included wind and hail. The fastest way to know your cost is a quote. Send us your Port O'Connor address and we will compare private carriers and TWIA. Request a Port O'Connor windstorm quote.
A WPI-8 is a windstorm certificate of compliance from the Texas Department of Insurance, not a city permit, and it matters most for insurance. Calhoun County is in TWIA's coastal area, so a home built, added on to, or repaired (including re-roofed) since January 1, 1988 generally needs a WPI-8, WPI-8-E, or WPI-8-C to qualify for TWIA coverage. Search for existing certificates with the TDI windstorm certificate lookup, or read our WPI-8 certificate guide.
Yes. Tell us whether the home is a second home, a seasonal home or a short-term rental. Coverage rules differ for each. Some carriers restrict homes that sit empty for long stretches, and rentals usually need a landlord or short-term rental policy. We will match you with the right type of coverage.
