New admitted, flexible product gives Texas homeowners greater choice and control in structuring their coverage
MIDVALE, Utah, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bamboo Ide8 Insurance Services, LLC (“Bamboo Insurance”) today announced the launch of its Texas Essential Homeowner Program, a new admitted, flexible product designed to give Texas homeowners greater flexibility in how they structure their coverage based on their individual needs and priorities.
As more Texas homeowners face the rising costs of renewals from traditional carriers, Texas Essential offers a meaningful alternative. Its structure keeps coverage transparent, giving homeowners clarity around what is and isn’t covered while providing greater flexibility to tailor coverage to their individual needs and budgets.
“Texas homeowners have different needs depending on their property, location, and circumstances, and we believe every customer should be able to make their own choice about the coverage they need,” said John Chu, Founder and CEO of Bamboo Insurance. “At Bamboo Insurance, we’re focused on expanding access to reliable, flexible coverage while giving our agent partners the tools they need to serve their customers in a rapidly evolving market. This program is another step in our commitment to bringing more options to homeowners in markets where they’re needed most.”
Bamboo Insurance’s Texas Essential puts greater choice in the hands of homeowners. Policyholders can tailor their roof coverage, water coverage, and loss settlement options to fit their home’s age, condition, and budget — rather than paying for a one-size-fits-all policy. A suite of optional add-ons gives homeowners additional flexibility to build the coverage that’s right for them. Those who have made qualifying home improvements can receive meaningful premium credits, and discounts are available for claim-free homeowners and recent home buyers alike.
The launch builds on Bamboo Insurance’s continued expansion of its product offerings and capacity. In July, the company introduced its Essential homeowners program in California and announced a new partnership with MS Transverse, adding approximately $150 million of admitted capacity in the state. Together, these developments reflect Bamboo Insurance’s ongoing focus on disciplined underwriting and thoughtful coverage solutions for homeowners in challenging insurance markets.
