In Westlake, the median home is worth about $3.1 million and the median household earns about $250,000 a year. For most families the mortgage is the biggest bill, so a good starting point is term coverage that would pay off the house and replace several years of income if a paycheck stopped.
With home values this high, many households also add permanent coverage, such as an IUL or whole life policy, to leave money to the next generation and build cash value they can use later.
About 12.5% of residents are 65 or older. If you are close to retirement, an annuity can turn savings into steady income, and a final expense policy can keep funeral costs off your children.
Texas does not tax wages, so more of each paycheck can go toward protection and savings. Cash value in an IUL can add another tax-advantaged source of retirement income.

Life Insurance Rules in Texas
Life insurance and annuities sold in Texas are regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance. Before you buy, you can check that an agent is licensed in Texas and get help with a complaint on its consumer help page.
If a life insurance company ever fails, the Texas Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association steps in for Texas residents, up to these limits per person, per insurance company:
- $300,000 in life insurance death benefits
- $100,000 in life insurance cash value
- $250,000 in annuity value
That safety net is not the same as FDIC insurance, and amounts above the limits depend on the insurer. It is one reason we compare carriers by financial strength rating, and why people with very large amounts sometimes spread coverage across more than one insurer.
