Independent in Texas since 1920
We don't work for an insurance company. We have access to hundreds of them, and work for you. Founded in 1920 in Madisonville, Stover & Crouch has protected Texas homes, cars, farms and businesses for over a century. As an independent agency we do the shopping for you, online or in person, balancing coverage, price and service, and we re-shop your policy at renewal.
Our team includes two licensed claims adjusters who help you understand your coverage and guide you through a claim. Steven Stover, an owner and Vice President, serves on the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas board.

Insurance in Texas has its own rules
Stover & Crouch has placed coverage in Texas since 1920, and policies here answer to Texas law, Texas weather and the Texas Department of Insurance. Four of the rules we explain every week, and the page that covers each one.
- Auto
Texas requires liability coverage of at least 30/60/25 on every registered vehicle: $30,000 for each injured person, $60,000 for each accident and $25,000 for property damage. The state minimum is a floor, not a recommendation.
Texas car insurance - Home
No Texas law requires homeowners insurance, but a lender does, and most Texas policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible set as a percentage of the dwelling limit. On a $300,000 home, a 2 percent deductible is $6,000 before a roof claim pays.
Texas homeowners insurance - Business
Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers' compensation. Labor Code Section 406.002 leaves the choice to the employer, and choosing not to carry it has rules and risks of its own.
Workers' compensation in Texas - Farm and ranch
A homeowners policy can limit or exclude farm buildings, machinery, livestock and product sales, so acreage that works for a living usually needs a policy built for it.
