Abstract

As Hurricane Harvey wreaked historic damage after slamming into the Texas coast on August 26, 2017, recent updates to state laws dealing property insurance were scheduled, by coincidence, to take effect just 6 days later on Friday, September 1, 2017. These laws substantively changed the obligations of insurers under property policies issued in Texas. These laws were also, as yet, uninterpreted by Texas courts.
