If I am reading the article in the link correctly, both auto and homeowner insurance went up. Of course that may have been the usual yearly anniversary increase. If, however, it was timed specifically due to the loss of the spouse then, (again in the article) basing a rate on marital status is illegal according to Texas law (???). Yeah, doesn’t seem right but then insurance agencies seem to have their own set of laws.
