Hay barns, equipment sheds, cattle pens, grain storage, and other agricultural structures aren't covered under a standard homeowners policy. A farm and ranch policy covers them specifically — at replacement cost or actual cash value depending on what you carry.

Coverage That Keeps Up With How You Ride
Motorcycle insurance isn't a one-size-fits-all product. Whether you're commuting through Canton, weekend riding through the East Texas backroads, or putting miles on a touring bike, your coverage should reflect how and where you actually ride. We work with multiple carriers to find a policy that fits your situation — not just the cheapest option on a comparison site.
What Motorcycle Insurance Covers
A standard motorcycle insurance policy can include several types of protection, and knowing what each one does helps you make a smarter decision about your coverage.
Liability coverage pays for injuries or property damage you cause to others in an accident. Collision coverage handles damage to your own bike when you're in a wreck. Comprehensive coverage takes care of non-collision losses — theft, fire, hail, vandalism, or a deer that didn't see you coming. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage steps in when the other driver doesn't have enough (or any) insurance, which happens more often than it should.
We'll walk you through each option and help you decide what level of coverage makes sense for your bike and your budget.

Why an Independent Agency Makes a Difference for Riders
When you buy motorcycle insurance through a captive agent or a big-box carrier, you get one set of rates and one set of options. That's it. As an independent agency, we're not tied to a single carrier — we can shop your coverage across multiple companies and find the combination of price and protection that actually works for you.
We've been doing this since 1972, and we don't charge agency fees on top of your premium. The cost of insurance is the cost of insurance. No surprises.
What Sets Your Rate — and How We Help You Get a Fair One
Several factors go into pricing a motorcycle insurance policy, and understanding them helps you have a more productive conversation with us.
- Type of bike: Sport bikes typically carry higher rates than cruisers or touring models due to performance and theft risk.
- How you use it: Year-round commuting is rated differently than seasonal recreational riding.
- Where you live and ride: Rural East Texas riding patterns differ from high-traffic urban corridors.
- Your riding history: A clean record works in your favor; we can help riders with prior incidents find competitive options.
- Coverage selections: Higher liability limits, lower deductibles, and add-ons like roadside assistance all affect your final premium.
We don't just hand you a quote — we explain what's driving the number and whether there are adjustments worth considering.
Roadside Assistance
If you break down on a back road between Canton and Tyler, roadside assistance coverage means you're not stranded and paying out of pocket for a tow. It's an affordable add-on that earns its cost the first time you need it.
Custom Parts and Equipment Coverage
A stock policy may not cover aftermarket upgrades — custom exhaust, upgraded seats, added electronics, or other modifications you've made to your bike. If you've put money into your ride, make sure your policy reflects that.
Total Loss Protection
If your bike is totaled, a standard policy may only pay the depreciated market value. Total loss protection options can help close the gap between what the carrier pays and what it actually costs to replace your bike.
Seasonal or Lay-Up Coverage
If you park your bike for the winter months, some carriers offer reduced rates during the off-season while keeping comprehensive coverage active. We'll let you know if that option makes sense for your situation.
Common Questions About Motorcycle Insurance in Texas
Is motorcycle insurance required in Texas?
Yes. Texas law requires all motorcycle operators to carry minimum liability insurance — currently $30,000 per person for bodily injury, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Riding without it puts your license and finances at risk.Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle?
No. Auto insurance policies do not extend coverage to motorcycles. Your bike needs its own separate policy, even if you're insured through the same carrier for your car.Can I insure a custom or modified motorcycle?
Yes, and it's important to do it right. Standard policies may not cover aftermarket parts at full value. We'll make sure your policy accounts for the actual worth of your bike, including any modifications you've made.What happens if I'm hit by an uninsured driver?
Uninsured motorist coverage on your motorcycle policy would apply. Texas has a significant number of uninsured drivers on the road, so this coverage is worth carrying — it protects you when the other party can't.Can I add a second bike to my policy?
In many cases, yes. Multi-bike policies are available through several of our carriers and can simplify your coverage while potentially reducing your overall premium. Give us a call and we'll look at what makes sense for your situation.
