Squatter risk in Texas accelerates with vacancy duration. Dallas properties unoccupied for 90+ days attract occupancy attempts in certain Dallas County neighborhoods.

Vacancy insurance riders in Texas kick in after 30-60 consecutive days of unoccupied status, costing 200-400% more than standard coverage.

Pipe-burst damage in vacant Texas homes during winter destroys floors, ceilings, and walls in hours.
