In Cleburne, the institutions file them: the county EOC logged three-inch hail itself on April 28, 2026, the high school reported two inches minutes later, the hospital called in quarters at 4 AM in 2021, and a fire station filed from its own driveway in 2017. Thirteen inch-plus days since 2015, three-inch stones twice in three seasons — measured by the people whose job is getting it right. Your date-of-loss evidence here is institutional grade. Published PDR pricing, claims billed direct, free loaners, free pickup and redelivery across 76031 and 76033 — the hour to our floor is our job, not yours.

The ring’s 13 inch-plus days since 2015 are documented by the town’s own institutions: the Johnson County Emergency Operations Center logged three-inch hail at its own address at 6:50 PM on April 28, 2026, with baseball hail near US 67 and the Chisholm Trail Expressway and two inches at Cleburne High School minutes later; a trained spotter measured 2.75 inches in a six-report quarter hour on March 16, 2023; ham operators reported three inches at Westlake and Nolan River Roads on May 9, 2024 — the same storm that dropped three-inch stones on Cleburne State Park; the hospital called in quarters at 4:23 AM in 2021; and a fire station filed nickels from its own driveway during the 2017 storm that put golf-ball-to-baseball hail near Henderson and Highway 67. For a claim, that’s gold: your date of loss is anchored by official reporters, not just social media. The pre-dawn line of March 8, 2025 hit here first — half-dollars near an elementary school at 3:42 AM — before working northeast to Burleson and Mansfield. Cleburne sits about an hour from our Lewisville floor, inside the 75-mile free pickup radius — and the mileage belongs to us: collection at your gate, one of 50+ loaners left behind, redelivery when the work is done. The price table is published (light hail $750–$1,500; most full-vehicle claims settle inside $2,500–$8,000), the carrier is billed directly, and qualifying hail claims carry the first $1,000 of the deductible. - The institutions keep the record: the county EOC, the high school, the hospital and a fire station have all filed this ring’s hail reports themselves. - Three inches, twice in three seasons: Westlake & Nolan River in 2024, the EOC’s own measurement in 2026. - Official reporters strengthen your claim: a date of loss anchored by an EOC log entry is as solid as evidence gets. - The hour belongs to us: gate-to-floor collection, a loaner in the interim, redelivery on completion. 13 days 1″+ Hail Since 2015 3.00″ Logged By The County EOC — 2026 4.9★ 500+ Google Reviews 4:23 AM The Hospital’s Own Report — 2021 On this page The Civic Record The Heavy Stones Cleburne's Hail Record Insurance Claims Tents vs. Shops Cost Before & After Getting Here FAQ Areas Map The County Seat On The Record ## IN CLEBURNE, THE INSTITUTIONS FILE THE REPORTS Scroll any suburb’s storm log and you’ll find social-media photos and app pins. Scroll Cleburne’s and you find the town’s own letterhead. April 28, 2026: an amateur-radio operator relays three-inch hail measured at the Johnson County Emergency Operations Center — the agency whose job is disasters, reporting one from its own parking lot — with baseball hail near US 67 and the Chisholm Trail Expressway at the same minute and two inches at Cleburne High School seven minutes later. March 2021: “Cleburne hospital reports quarter sized hail” — at 4:23 in the morning, because hospitals don’t sleep. April 2017: a fire station files nickels from its own driveway on Nolan River Road while golf-ball-to-baseball stones fall near Henderson Street and Highway 67. Emergency management, law enforcement, trained spotters and the county’s ham network fill in the rest. That reporting culture is worth real money when you file a claim. A date of loss anchored to an EOC log entry or a hospital’s own report is the strongest anchor an adjuster ever sees — no arguing about whether the storm “really” hit town when the county’s own emergency agency measured the stones. When we write a Cleburne estimate, the dent map is matched to those institutional rows, photographed under raking light, and filed with the kind of documentation that ends date disputes before they start. 2023 · 2024 · 2026 ## THREE INCHES, TWICE — AND A BASEBALL YEAR BETWEEN Cleburne’s table has grown heavier as it’s gone. March 16, 2023 brought a six-report quarter hour at dinnertime: a trained spotter’s 2.75-inch stone northwest of town at 5:16 PM, two-inch hail northeast four minutes later — the same afternoon the metro’s inner suburbs logged mere quarters. May 9, 2024 went bigger: ham operators reported three inches at Westlake Road and Nolan River Road, the same storm dropping three-inch stones on Cleburne State Park down the lake road. And April 28, 2026 matched it — the EOC’s own three-inch measurement, the ring’s joint-record, landing at 6:50 on a spring evening this year. Between the giants, the calendar kept filling: golf balls near Walls Hospital at Henderson and Highway 67 in April 2017, two-inch stones at half past midnight in April 2020, golf balls at 8:21 PM in May 2021, and the pre-dawn line of March 8, 2025 that dropped half-dollars near Gerard Elementary at 3:42 AM before working northeast — Burleson took its golf balls an hour later, Mansfield by five. Stones at Cleburne’s top end crack windshields and split paint; they don’t just dent. If a truck sat out under any of those dates and never got read under proper light, the claim is still live — comprehensive coverage doesn’t expire because the damage was discovered late. The Public Record ## CLEBURNE’S HAIL RECORD — 1″+ DAYS SINCE 2015 Each row is a National Weather Service local storm report filed under Cleburne’s name or logged within five miles of the county seat — a ring that carries Keene east, Bono southwest, Lake Pat Cleburne, and the Chisholm Trail Parkway’s southern end. Notice who’s doing the reporting in the third column; few tables anywhere carry this much official ink. Date (local) Largest logged stone What the NWS log says April 28, 2026 3.00″ — the EOC’s own entry Ham operators relay the evening’s ladder: two inches northwest at 6:42 PM, baseball hail near US 67 and the Chisholm Trail Expressway and three inches at the Johnson County EOC at 6:50, two inches at Cleburne High School at 6:57 — the ring’s joint-record, and its only entry so far in 2026 March 25, 2025 1.75″ — golf ball A trained spotter’s golf balls northeast of town at 5:46 PM — the same evening storms worked Irving and Arlington’s rings up the metro March 8, 2025 1.25″ — half dollar, 3:42 AM The pre-dawn line’s first stop: half-dollars in southwest Cleburne near Gerard Elementary, quarters photographed in town — an hour before Burleson’s golf balls, ninety minutes before Mansfield’s May 9, 2024 3.00″ — Westlake & Nolan River Ham operators report three-inch hail at Westlake Rd and Nolan River Rd at 5:05 PM — the same storm dropping three-inch stones on Cleburne State Park down the lake road April 28, 2023 1.25″ — half dollar A ham report of quarters west of town at 3:57 PM, half-dollars in Keene at 4:09 March 16, 2023 2.75″ — baseball class A six-report quarter hour: a trained spotter’s 2.75″ stone northwest of town at 5:16 PM, two inches northeast at 5:20, ping-pong behind them — the day the metro’s inner rings saw only quarters April 12, 2022 1.00″ — quarter Nickel-and-quarter hail off the Chisholm Trail Parkway on the ring’s north edge, by ham report May 3, 2021 1.75″ — golf ball A ham operator’s golf balls south-southwest of town at 8:21 PM March 17, 2021 1.00″ — quarter “Cleburne hospital reports quarter sized hail” — at 4:23 in the morning; the institutions here don’t sleep through storms April 29, 2020 2.00″ — hen egg Two-inch hail west-southwest of town at 12:29 AM, quarters in town through 1:21 — a half-past-midnight storm April 13, 2018 1.75″ — golf ball Golf balls at Bono on the ring’s southwest edge, quarters “on Highway 67” by trained spotter — the same statewide storm day Aubrey’s corridor logged its between-the-towns row April 10, 2017 1.75″ — “golfball to baseball” The fire-station storm: an inch at Lake Pat Cleburne at 3:07 PM, the EM’s quarters in town, nickels filed from Fire Station 2’s own driveway on Nolan River Rd, and “golfball to baseball size hail” near Walls Hospital at Henderson and Hwy 67 at 3:12 April 26, 2015 1.75″ — golf ball The table’s first row: golf balls in Cleburne at 10:32 PM, law enforcement logging quarters east of town Thirteen rows, and the official reporters own most of the bold ones. One ring north, the [Burleson–Crowley corridor page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-burleson-crowley/) carries the measured four-inch stone from the regional record’s own storm; the [Mansfield page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-mansfield/) holds the five-inch record itself; and the month-by-month math behind every row lives in the [DFW hail-season data guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/dfw-hail-season/), built from the same federal log. The Insurance Side ## AN HOUR OF DISTANCE, ZERO OF IT YOURS Nothing in Texas insurance law shrinks with mileage. Hail is a comprehensive claim — no fault, no points, nothing on a driving record — and Tex. Ins. Code §1952.301 puts the choice of shop with you, whether the shop is on the courthouse square or an hour up the interstate. That right matters most exactly here: a carrier’s “nearest network facility” suggestion in a county-seat town usually means whoever signed the network agreement, not whoever documents a heavy-stone claim best — and Cleburne’s top-end hail is precisely where documentation decides money. Three-inch stones hide damage in glass seals, roof rails and panel edges that a first estimate never prices; we photograph the dent map under raking light against the institutional rows above, bill the carrier directly, and argue [the supplements](https://dgcollision.com/guides/insurance-estimate-final/) with pictures — in our [2026 State Farm files](https://dgcollision.com/guides/state-farm-claims-shop-report/), every hail claim needed at least one. 28 TAC §5.7016 bars nonrenewal over weather claims; the [rates guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-claim-insurance-rates/) tells the honest premium story. The distance runs on our clock, start to finish: you open the claim ([the step-by-step guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/texas-hail-insurance-claim/) covers it), we collect the vehicle from a driveway near the square, a gate off the county roads or a lot along US 67 — anywhere in 76031 or 76033, comfortably inside our 75-mile free pickup radius — and swap in a [loaner from the 50-strong fleet](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) for the duration — yours to drive normally, nothing metered. [One deductible](https://dgcollision.com/guides/do-i-have-to-pay-my-deductible/), once, first $1,000 covered on qualifying hail claims, and the finished vehicle returns to the same spot carrying a claim file an adjuster can’t argue with. After The Storm ## THE COUNTY SEAT GETS THE COUNTY’S CANVASSERS Every storm that hits Johnson County funnels its repair traffic through Cleburne — and its canvassers too. After the EOC’s own three-inch evening this spring, the circuit ran its standard route: tents in the lots along US 67 and SH 174, door hangers through the neighborhoods west of downtown, yard signs on the roads out toward the lake. Here’s the irony worth keeping: in a town whose hail record is written by emergency managers and fire stations, the clipboard crews still lead with “you probably don’t realize your neighborhood was hit.” You hold the county’s own record now — the dated table above — and any pitch that contradicts it should end the conversation. For everything subtler, run the offer through [the nine tells in our hail-scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/), each anchored to the statute that exposes it. The two protections to memorize: a contract signed at your home or gate can be canceled until midnight of the third business day, and a deductible “handled” inside a padded estimate is insurance fraud under Tex. Penal Code §35.02, filed under the policyholder’s name — yours. The honest version rides on our paperwork instead: qualifying hail claims get [the first $1,000 of the deductible covered](https://dgcollision.com/deductible-assistance/) — our margin absorbs it, the carrier sees true numbers, and the line sits printed on the estimate itself. Published Numbers ## WHAT HAIL REPAIR COSTS FOR CLEBURNE One published table on every DG page — the county seat gets the same numbers as the metro. Depth in the [DFW hail cost guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-damage-repair-cost-dfw/); a fast number from the [estimator](https://dgcollision.com/repair-cost-estimator/). Damage level Published range Notes Single dents (cash PDR) $50–$150 per dent Plus R&I trim labor when access needs trim or a panel off Light — 1–2 panels $750–$1,500 The hospital-report quarter class — shallow and paint-safe Deep dents on 1–2 panels $1,500–$4,000 The golf-ball class the ring logs most springs Several panels, clear coat intact $2,000–$5,000 A ranch truck’s topside peppered end to end Several panels, deep or cracked paint $5,000–$10,000+ The baseball class of March 2023 Typical full-vehicle claim $2,500–$8,000 Where most carrier-paid hail claims settle Full vehicle, dense but clear $5,000–$9,000 Roof, hood, deck lid and both bodysides Full vehicle, deep / glass / cracked paint $7,500–$15,000+ The three-inch class of 2024 and 2026 — glass joins the PDR Johnson County runs on trucks, and truck panels change technique, not tables: [the F-150 hail page](https://dgcollision.com/f150-hail-damage-repair/) covers work-hardening aluminum — the panel class a storm-chaser’s rushed pull ruins — and [the Silverado & Sierra page](https://dgcollision.com/silverado-sierra-hail-damage-repair/) the two-metal 2019+ bodies. On a hard-worked older truck, three-inch hail runs straight at Texas’s 100%-of-value total-loss line — [the will-it-total guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/will-hail-damage-total-my-car/) runs that math before your carrier does — and for the paid-off truck on liability only, [the liability-only guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/liability-only-car-damage-texas/) prices the cash path, with [the PDR guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/pdr-vs-body-shop/) explaining each panel’s call. ### DENTED IN CLEBURNE? THE HOUR EACH WAY IS OURS. Driveway near the square, gate off the county roads, lot along US 67 — we collect the truck anywhere in 76031 or 76033, hand you a loaner from our 50+ fleet, and redeliver it finished with its claim file.

Or Rather — How We Get To You ## CLEBURNE → DG COLLISION If you want to make the drive: SH 174 north through Burleson to I-35W, up through Fort Worth, then SH 121/183 east to I-35E north, exit Main Street in Lewisville — 693 Metro Park Cir, Lewisville, TX 75057, about 65–75 minutes; the Chisholm Trail Parkway from the ring’s north edge runs a similar clock. Open Mon–Fri 8:30–5:30, Sat 10–1. For deer strikes, trailer dings and everything non-hail, our [collision repair page](https://dgcollision.com/services/collision-repair/) covers the full shop. But nobody should drive two and a half hours round trip for an estimate — so don’t. Cleburne sits comfortably inside our 75-mile free pickup radius: text photos first for a free read, and when the claim is on we send a driver, not directions: any drivable vehicle in 76031 or 76033 gets collected where it sits, a [fleet loaner](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) takes its parking spot for however long the work runs, and the finished truck returns with a documented claim file riding shotgun. The in-between happens over phone and photo. First move: a low-light picture texted to (817) 907-2822.

On the evening of April 28, 2026, amateur-radio operators relayed a ladder of measurements: two-inch hail northwest of town at 6:42 PM, baseball hail near US 67 and the Chisholm Trail Expressway at 6:50, three inches measured at the Johnson County Emergency Operations Center the same minute, and two inches at Cleburne High School at 6:57. It’s the ring’s only entry so far in 2026 and its heaviest since 2024. Hail that size cracks glass and splits paint; any vehicle that sat out that evening and hasn’t been read under proper light is overdue for a five-minute check — and the claim window is wide open. **Q: What’s the biggest hail ever logged in Cleburne?** A: Three inches, twice: at Westlake Road and Nolan River Road on May 9, 2024 — the same storm that dropped three-inch stones on Cleburne State Park — and at the Johnson County EOC on April 28, 2026. The 2023 season came close with a trained spotter’s 2.75-inch stone northwest of town. For context, the regional record’s five-inch stone fell one county over near Mansfield in June 2023, and the same supercell measured four inches at Burleson — Johnson County sits squarely in heavy-stone country, and Cleburne’s table proves it. **Q: Why do Cleburne’s hail reports come from the EOC, the hospital and fire stations?** A: County seats keep their own records. Cleburne houses Johnson County’s emergency infrastructure — the Emergency Operations Center, an active ham-radio network, trained spotters, and public institutions whose staff report weather as part of the job. That’s why this ring’s log carries official entries where suburban tables carry app pins. And it works in your favor: a date of loss anchored to the EOC’s own three-inch measurement or the hospital’s 4 AM report is the strongest evidence an adjuster ever sees. We match your dent map to those rows when we write the estimate, so the where-and-when is settled before it’s asked. **Q: I’m outside town — Keene, Bono, the lake, the county roads. Do you come out this far?** A: Yes. The ring this page documents already carries Keene (half-dollars in 2023, dimes in 2017), Bono (golf balls in 2018) and Lake Pat Cleburne (the 2017 storm’s first report), and our free pickup covers any drivable vehicle inside the 75-mile radius — which takes in all of 76031, 76033 and the county roads between. A gate, a barn lot or a driveway all work the same: we collect the truck, leave a free loaner, and redeliver when it’s finished. If you’re unsure whether your spot qualifies, text the address with your photos and you’ll have an answer in one reply. **Q: What does hail repair cost in Cleburne?** A: The published table, identical on every DG page: light hail on one or two panels, $750–$1,500; deep dents on a panel or two, $1,500–$4,000; several panels with paint intact, $2,000–$5,000; the typical full-vehicle carrier claim, $2,500–$8,000; severe damage with cracked paint or glass — the ring’s three-inch class — $7,500–$15,000+. Cash PDR runs $50–$150 per dent plus R&I trim labor where access needs disassembly. On qualifying hail claims the first $1,000 of the deductible is covered — printed on the estimate, billed honestly. **Q: You’re over an hour away. Why not just use a shop in town?** A: Distance costs you nothing here — pickup, loaner and redelivery all ride free with the repair, and everything in between runs by phone and photo. So the real question is the shop itself, and on that we’ll happily be compared: I-CAR Gold Class, published pricing on every page, direct carrier billing, supplements argued with photographs — the discipline that matters most on Cleburne’s three-inch-class claims — and a written lifetime warranty on the workmanship. Texas law (§1952.301) makes the choice yours, not your carrier’s; we just make the miles irrelevant to it. **Q: Will a hail claim raise my rates or get my policy dropped?** A: The policy is protected by rule: 28 TAC §5.7016 bars a carrier from refusing to renew a personal auto policy solely over weather claims, and hail is comprehensive — no fault assigned, nothing on your driving record. Premiums carry no statutory lock, so the honest answer is they can move — but in a county whose seat logs three-inch hail from its own EOC, most of what drivers feel is county-wide repricing that lands on claimants and non-claimants alike, which is why eating repair costs to protect a rate rarely pencils out. The rates guide walks the real levers.
