Short answer
To file a roof damage claim, document the damage with photos and dates, prevent further damage with a tarp, report the claim promptly to your insurer (or TWIA for windstorm coverage), and keep repair estimates and receipts. Texas has deadlines for filing and responding, so check your policy terms.
