ANSWER
For a condo in Texas, the key policy is usually an HO-6 condominium unit owners policy. You also need to check the condo association’s master policy so your own coverage fills the gap, not duplicates it.

For a condo near University of Dallas, Texas Department of Insurance says Texas uses the HO-6RTX condominium unit owners policy for unit owners. National consumer guidance also says condo owners often need an HO-6 policy to cover what the HOA master policy does not cover.
- HO-6 is the condo unit-owner policy type named in Texas.
- The HOA or master policy typically covers common areas and building exterior items, not your unit contents or your personal belongings.
- Ask for the condo association’s master policy summary before you buy so you know what your policy must add.
What does the condo association’s insurance do?
Fannie Mae says master property insurance policies cover the common elements and residential structures in condo projects, and for condo projects the master policy is intended to be primary. It also notes that a unit owner may have other insurance on the same property, but that does not replace the condo’s master coverage.
- Master coverage is about the building and shared property.
- Your unit-owner policy is there to cover your interior, belongings, and other gaps the master policy leaves.
- If your lender is involved, confirm whether the project’s legal documents require individual unit policies.
What should you verify before binding coverage?
The Texas Department of Insurance also points you to your agent and the FAIR Plan or TWIA for help if standard coverage is hard to place. The practical next step is to compare the condo association’s insurance details with the limits and deductibles in your own quote.
- Confirm the master policy’s deductibles and what parts of the building it insures.
- Check whether your lender requires specific coverage terms.
- If you cannot place coverage normally, ask your agent about the FAIR Plan or TWIA.
