Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin see frequent spring hail; Houston and the coast deal with tropical storms and hurricanes; and long, hot summers age shingles everywhere.

Hail in North and Central Texas
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the most hail-damaged metros in the country, and San Antonio and Austin see frequent hail too. Many owners choose Class 4 shingles, and Texas insurers offer discounts for impact-resistant roofs.
Gulf Coast hurricanes and windstorm rules
Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers and other coastal counties, plus part of Harris County east of State Highway 146, are in the state's designated windstorm area, where roofing work is inspected for Texas Windstorm Insurance Association eligibility.
Heat
Long, hot summers drive attic temperatures well above outdoor air, so shingles often last 15 to 20 years rather than the figure on the package. Ventilation and reflective shingles help.
Licensing, permits and contracts in Texas
Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. State law prohibits contractors from paying or waiving an insurance deductible, and roofers can't act as your public adjuster. Cities set their own permit rules, and much of the state is unincorporated county land governed by HOAs.
