Harris County, Texas, which includes Houston and is the most populous county in Texas, has no shortage of families weighing term life insurance, and the core question is the same for each of them: how many years would the people at home need your income if you were not there? Common term lengths include 10, 15, 20, and 30 years, and many policies keep the premium level for the whole term. For farm and ranch families, term life insurance can be sized around keeping land, livestock, or equipment in the family, not only around a house payment. If the term ends while you are still living, coverage stops unless the policy offers renewal, which is usually priced much higher at your older age. A stay-at-home parent's work has real replacement value too, so households in Harris County often price a smaller term policy for that spouse as well. If you live in Harris County, a licensed agent can walk you through term life insurance in one call, with no commitment.
