The Metroplex has been adding new households faster than almost anywhere in the country, and a lot of them have just signed a 30-year mortgage. The most common question we get from Dallas–Fort Worth is some version of “if something happens to me, can my family keep the house?” That's a term-length and coverage-amount question more than a product question, and it's one we can usually answer in a single call with a number attached.

How much coverage a Dallas–Fort Worth household usually needs

Nothing about the Metroplex changes what a policy costs per thousand dollars of coverage. What it changes is how many thousands a household needs. The median home in the city of Dallas is valued at about $320,700 and the median household earns about $70,518 a year. Clearing a mortgage of that size and replacing a decade of that income comes to close to $1.03 million of coverage.

Metroplex housing runs higher than Houston or San Antonio and so do incomes, which is why the arithmetic here crosses the million-dollar line where it does not in the rest of the state. If the mortgage is new, the term length matters as much as the amount — a loan with 29 years left is not a 20-year problem. Our mortgage and family protection page covers how the two are matched.

English or Spanish, either way

41.2% of Dallas residents age five and over speak a language other than English at home. Every call, application and policy explanation is available in Spanish with Victor directly rather than through an interpreter.

Home value, income and language figures are for the city of Dallas, not the wider Metroplex: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Suburban Collin and Denton county figures run higher.

If a Texas insurance company ever failed

Every company we place business with is licensed in Texas, and the Texas Department of Insurance answers consumer questions and complaints at 800-252-3439. If a life insurer became insolvent, the Texas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association would step in, covering up to $300,000 in death benefits and $100,000 in net cash surrender value per life. Texas also gives you a free-look period of at least 10 to 20 days after delivery to cancel a new policy for any reason and get your premium back. We tell you which company is issuing your policy, and why, before you apply.

Questions we hear from Dallas–Fort Worth

We just bought a house in the suburbs. Do we need mortgage protection insurance?
What most people call “mortgage protection” is a term life policy sized to the mortgage balance and matched to its length. You can buy it as a stand-alone policy or fold the mortgage into a larger term policy that also covers income and children's costs. We'll price both for your loan amount so you can see the difference.
What would a $1,000,000 policy actually cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
For a 20-year term policy at $1,000,000, nonsmoker, best health class, we are currently quoting about $30 a month for a healthy 28-year-old man and $23 for a 28-year-old woman, rising to about $35 and $31 at age 36 and about $48 at age 40. Those are Texas rates for a policy issued at the best health class. On a new 30-year mortgage a 30-year term costs more than the 20-year figures above. Your own rate depends on your health history, and a health class below the best one raises it, so treat these as the shape of the market rather than a promise. The full table, and what moves a rate up or down, is on what a million-dollar term policy costs.
Are life insurance rates different in Dallas–Fort Worth than in Houston?
Almost not at all. Carriers price a policy on age, sex, tobacco use, health history, coverage amount and term length — your ZIP code is not in the formula, and neither is your state beyond which carriers are licensed there. What changes between Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston is how much coverage a household needs: the arithmetic above lands near $1.03 million in Dallas–Fort Worth and near $930,000 in Houston. The Metroplex is the only Texas market we serve where the median household arithmetic crosses a million dollars, mostly because of what houses cost north of the city.
Do I have to meet you in person?
No. Everything — the first conversation, the application and the policy delivery — happens by phone, video or e-mail. Our business office is in Chicago and we work with Dallas–Fort Worth families remotely, which is how most of our clients prefer it.
Are you actually licensed in Texas?
Yes. Victor M Robles Soto is licensed in Texas (Texas license 3546592, NPN 22305583). You can verify a producer's license on the Texas Department of Insurance website. Both numbers also appear in the footer of every page on this site.
What does the first call cost?
Nothing, and it doesn't obligate you to anything. If you apply for a policy and it's approved, the insurance company pays our agency a commission; you never pay us a fee.
