Texas law provides for reductions in homeowner’s insurance premiums if your home complies with certain security standards.  A crime prevention specialist will use a checklist to perform a complete inspection of your home looking for specific requirements of the law that must be met to qualify for the reduction.  The survey is designed to locate weaknesses and identifying practical ways to correct them.

The survey consists of two separate surveys: 

1. An alarm survey in which if you qualify you may receive a 15% reduction, and
   
   
2. A house survey which will give you an additional 5% reduction for a total of 20%.
