Insurance agents managing storm aftermath

Local insurance agents have seen a significant but manageable increase of insurance claims in the aftermath of the Texas freeze.

State Farm Insurance Agency reported 40,000 claims across the state, up from just 75 claims related to freezing and burst pipes in 2020. 

“We are dealing with it across the state,” said local State Farm agent Jo Stephens. “State Farm has been phenomenal keeping agents informed, we were doing conference calls during the storm. My biggest concern is getting the customers repairs and getting them back to normal.”
