IMPORTANT NEWS FROM PADRE ISLES POA

UPCOMING ROAD CLOSURES ON WHITECAP

Improvements are being made to equipment at a waste water lift station.  Existing equipment was installed in 1974 and is approaching its useful service life, resulting in multiple repairs in the past year.  The improvements will restore the structural integrity of the line, which should last approximately 50 years.

Phase 1 – Monday, July 23 for approximately 1 week

Eastbound Whitecap traffic will be reduced to one lane as the left lane between

Gypsy and Cruiser will be closed for pipe welding and site preparation.

Phase 2 – Monday, July 30 for approximately 1 week

Eastbound traffic on Whitecap will be shifted onto the westbound lanes between

Cruiser and Barataria.  Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction.

WINDSTORM INSURANCE

You may have read the various articles regarding proposed legislation from the Texas Department of Insurance to divide the fourteen coastal counties based on proximity to the Gulf.   A surcharge to all insurance rates (Windstorm, homeowner policies, automobile policies, boats and RV policies) would cost Island property owners the most, and increase in lesser increments the farther inland you go.

Right now the 14 coastal counties are treated differently than the other 240 counties in Texas.  In the other counties, wind and hail are included in their homeowner’s policy.  It is only in the 14 coastal counties that we have separate windstorm and hail insurance in addition to a homeowner policy which specifically excludes wind and hail.

The other counties have their share of wild fires as well as wind and hail damage. Hurricanes are not the only potential disaster for Texas. We are all Texans and should all be treated equally. The Texas Department of Insurance should develop an equitable and reasonable statewide funding formula that does not target and discriminate against the fourteen coastal counties.

A task force has been created and our local Legislators, Representatives Todd Hunter and Senator Hinojosa are on top of this.  It is time to fix the windstorm insurance problem in Texas.

If you would like to write letters to State officials to ask for this fair and equitable funding formula, please contact our office for addresses or a sample letter.

In the 37 years that I have lived in Corpus Christi, I have been involved in the purchase or sale of Real Estate 16 times. In the last three, my wife and I have been represented by Cheri Sperling of Coastline Properties. I highly recommend Cheri Sperling and feel she is the finest realtor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She is knowledgeable, honest, energetic and dependable. Not only does Cheri know all of the ins and outs of the local real estate market and the applicable rules and regulations, she is willing to always go the extra mile to make the deal work and take the burden off of her client in the process.

Thanks to Tara Gallaspy for doing such a great job on our recent home sale! It was nice to leave the job in such a capable person's hands and not have to worry about the myriad of details that take place in order to finalize a sale. Our house had a contract one week from listing, and the closing went off early without a hitch. Tara also went above and beyond between those two events. I would never hesitate to recommend her to a friend.~ Shannon Trial, Padre Islander
