How articles are written and reviewed
Articles on this site are meant to help property owners understand their claims, not to promise outcomes. Joseph's standards for this site:
- Checked against Texas law. Statements about deadlines, fees, and claim rules are checked against the Texas Insurance Code, including Chapters 542, 542A, 2210, and 4102, and against Texas Department of Insurance and TWIA guidance, with links to official sources.
- Real weather data. Local storm references are checked against the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, National Hurricane Center reports, and National Weather Service records rather than anecdotes.
- Local building context. Code and permit references are checked against the City of Corpus Christi's published requirements and the TDI windstorm program.
- Careful framing. Coverage always depends on the policy and the facts, so articles use careful language and avoid guarantees.
- Visible dates. Each article shows its published and updated dates so readers know how current it is.
