Tennis-ball hail in town, an eight-report half hour, and a spotter’s note that reads “3.75 inch hail measured on a photo.” Dallas media looked north all week; Ellis County’s day went unremembered — which means much of it went unclaimed. Fourteen inch-plus days since 2015, from a February morning at the Best Buy to two-inch stones on US 77. Published PDR pricing, claims billed direct, free loaners, collection and return across 75165 and 75167.

In June 2023 — the week that produced both of the region’s five-inch stones — the storms came to Ellis County on Wednesday the 14th: eight reports in a half hour, tennis-ball hail measured by a trained spotter two miles south of the courthouse, hen-egg stones east of town, and a second spotter’s entry logged at three inches whose own remark reads “3.75 inch hail measured on a photo.” Dallas coverage stayed on the northern giants, and Ellis County’s heaviest day in a decade slipped by — which is why we still find its dents on trade-ins. The rest of the table is a county seat’s working ledger: quarters covering the ground at the Best Buy off I-35E on a February morning in 2017; the September 24, 2023 storm arriving in two rounds three hours apart; a spotter’s “large quantity” of quarters-and-golf-balls covering the ground in May 2024; two-inch hail at US 77 and Dart six days later; and quarters northeast of town on May 25, 2026 — the ring’s only entry so far in 2026. Waxahachie sits straight down I-35E from our Lewisville floor — one interstate, 55–65 minutes — and the swap system erases it: any drivable vehicle in 75165 or 75167 gets collected, replaced with a fleet loaner, and returned finished. Published pricing (light hail $750–$1,500, typical full-vehicle claim $2,500–$8,000), direct carrier billing, first $1,000 of the deductible covered on qualifying hail claims. - The forgotten day: June 14, 2023 — tennis balls in town during the giants’ week, unremembered and therefore under-claimed. - A 3.75″ photo in the remarks: the log entry says 3.00; the spotter’s own note says more — we print both. - Hail in February: quarters covered a retail lot off I-35E at 11 AM in winter 2017 — this ring keeps odd hours and odd months. - One interstate between us: I-35E door to door — and the swap system means you never drive it. 14 days 1″+ Hail Since 2015 3.00″ June 14, 2023 — The Forgotten Day 4.9★ 500+ Google Reviews February The 2017 Winter-Morning Entry On this page The Forgotten Day The County Seat's Ledger Waxahachie's Hail Record Tents vs. Shops Insurance Claims Cost Before & After Getting Here FAQ Areas Map June 14, 2023 — 5:25 to 5:47 PM ## THE FAMOUS WEEK MADE A STOP NOBODY REMEMBERS Ask anyone in DFW about June 2023 and they’ll tell you about the giants: the five-inch stones that fell near Mansfield on the 12th and at Sanger on the 15th, the pair that still tops the regional record. Almost nobody mentions Wednesday the 14th — because Wednesday belonged to Ellis County, and the cameras were pointed the other way. The log remembers: eight reports between 5:25 and 5:47 PM. Quarters east of town to open. Ping-pong at 5:29. A 2.50-inch entry two miles south-southeast at 5:36. A trained spotter’s “ping pong ball to tennis ball sized hail in Waxahachie” at 5:45 — and, the same minute, a second spotter’s entry northeast of town, logged at 3.00 inches, whose remark reads “3.75 inch hail measured on a photo.” Hen-egg stones closed the half hour at 5:47. A storm that famous week anywhere north of the Trinity would have spawned a hundred news segments and a thousand claims. Here it spawned neither — and unremembered hail becomes unclaimed hail. We still find June 2023’s signature on Ellis County trade-ins: shallow tennis-ball craters on roofs and deck lids, discovered by an appraiser years after the storm, priced against the owner instead of the carrier that owed for them. If a vehicle you owned in June 2023 sat outside that Wednesday and was never read under proper light, that claim is still legally alive — the date of loss is the storm’s, not the discovery’s — and the reading costs nothing. Gingerbread Town, Working Ledger ## A COUNTY SEAT’S RECORD — ODD MONTHS, NAMED CORNERS Between the famous Wednesday and today, Waxahachie’s table reads like the town itself: specific, practical, and indifferent to the calendar. The strangest row is the earliest riser — February 27, 2017, a winter Monday, quarters at I-35E and US 287 by 10:50 AM and “nickel hail covering the ground at the Best Buy” a mile east by 11:00. The heaviest recent rows name their corners too: two-inch hail “at US 77 & Dart” on May 30, 2024 — six days after a spotter watched “a large quantity of hail falling, a lot of quarters with some golf balls mixed in… covering the ground” west of town. And the metro’s celebrated September 24, 2023 storm hit the county seat in two rounds three hours apart — golf balls at 7:38 PM, then a second wave past 9:30 — the kind of double-tap that turns one evening into two arguments with an adjuster unless the timeline is documented properly. Upstream, the pattern this county runs on: five of these storms signed [Midlothian’s table](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-midlothian/) first and arrived here 18 to 34 minutes later down the US 287 spine — the 2020 pre-dawn line (Midlothian 5:33 AM, here 6:07), the 2018 evening (7:12, then 7:30), the 2025 walk (7:15, then 7:38). For the thousands who live in one town and park in the other, the two pages are one claim tool read together. The Public Record ## WAXAHACHIE’S HAIL RECORD — 1″+ DAYS SINCE 2015 Each row is a National Weather Service local storm report filed under Waxahachie’s name or logged within five miles of the courthouse — a ring that runs the I-35E and US 287 interchange country and the neighborhoods around the square. Sizes and remarks are the log’s own; where a remark outran its logged size, both are printed. Date (local) Largest logged stone What the NWS log says May 25, 2026 1.00″ — quarter An mPING quarter northeast of town at 4:20 PM — the ring’s only entry so far in 2026 May 16, 2025 1.00″ — quarter Broadcast-relayed nickel-to-quarter hail at 7:38 PM — 23 minutes after the same storm’s Midlothian entry April 15, 2025 1.00″ — quarter An mPING inch northeast of town at 4:14 AM — the county seat woke first that morning; Midlothian’s entry came at 4:33 May 30, 2024 2.00″ — hen egg “2 in hail Waxahachie US77 & Dart way ” at 3:00 PM, quarter-to-ping-pong through town behind it May 24, 2024 1.75″ — golf ball A spotter’s verbatim: “a large quantity of hail falling, a lot of quarters with some golf balls mixed in.

[The Midlothian page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-midlothian/) holds the upstream clocks; [the Mansfield page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-mansfield/) the record the famous week is named for; and the month-by-month math lives in the [DFW hail-season data guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/dfw-hail-season/), built from the same federal log. After The Storm ## THE SQUARE DRAWS TOURISTS. STORMS DRAW A DIFFERENT CROWD. A courthouse town knows its salesmen, and the post-storm variety is easy to spot once you’ve seen the circuit: the “catastrophe team” canopy in a lot off the 287 bypass, door-hangers through the historic districts where every house has a story and every driveway an uncovered car, the knock that opens with the neighbor’s name. After the September 2023 double-tap the circuit worked this town for weeks — and its favorite trick was quoting the evening’s first round to people whose damage came in the second, a mismatch an adjuster will spot even if the homeowner doesn’t. The paperwork rules are where the pretenders fail, and [our hail-scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/) holds all nine tells against their statutes. Keep two by the door: any contract signed at your house can be unwound in writing until midnight of the third business day under Texas’s home-solicitation law, and every “we’ll take care of your deductible” wink describes Tex. Penal Code §35.02 insurance fraud carried out under your policy number. Deductible help with a paper trail looks different: [the first $1,000 on qualifying hail claims](https://dgcollision.com/deductible-assistance/), funded by our margin, printed as a line item your carrier reads with everything else. The Insurance Side ## OLD STORMS, LIVE CLAIMS — AND ONE INTERSTATE BETWEEN US The claim most Waxahachie drivers should be thinking about isn’t from this spring — it’s from June 2023 or September 2023, still sitting undocumented on a roof panel. Texas comprehensive coverage handles that gracefully: the date of loss is the storm’s date, late discovery is routine (carriers see it constantly on hail), and no fault or surcharge event attaches to you. The execution matters more with older damage, though — an adjuster meets a two-year-old dent field with more questions — so the file has to carry the answers: a raking-light dent map whose pattern matches the logged storm, panel photography, and the specific dated row from the table above. That’s the discipline our [State Farm shop report](https://dgcollision.com/guides/state-farm-claims-shop-report/) documents claim by claim, and it’s what wins [the supplement rounds](https://dgcollision.com/guides/insurance-estimate-final/) where hail money actually lives. Your legal footing is the same two lines as everywhere in Texas: §1952.301 — the shop is your choice; 28 TAC §5.7016 — weather claims can’t cost you renewal. Premium mechanics are in the [rates guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-claim-insurance-rates/), plainly told. Geography is the easy part: Waxahachie and our floor share one road. [Open the claim](https://dgcollision.com/guides/texas-hail-insurance-claim/), and the swap does the rest — our driver brings a [loaner](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) to the square, the driveway or the office, takes the vehicle up I-35E, and reverses the trade when it’s finished. [One deductible](https://dgcollision.com/guides/do-i-have-to-pay-my-deductible/), once — the first $1,000 of it ours on qualifying hail claims — and the car comes home with the file that answers every question before it’s asked.

For those, [the will-it-total guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/will-hail-damage-total-my-car/) runs the formula honestly, [the liability-only guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/liability-only-car-damage-texas/) covers the no-comprehensive case, and [the PDR guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/pdr-vs-body-shop/) explains which panels can skip paint entirely. ### DENTED IN WAXAHACHIE?

Or Rather — How We Get To You ## WAXAHACHIE → DG COLLISION Driving it yourself is one road: I-35E north, through Dallas, to the Main Street exit in Lewisville — 693 Metro Park Cir, Lewisville, TX 75057, about 55–65 minutes and not a single highway change. Open Mon–Fri 8:30–5:30, Sat 10–1. For collisions, deer strikes and the rest, our [collision repair page](https://dgcollision.com/services/collision-repair/) covers the whole shop. Or keep your day and trade keys at the curb: the county seat sits inside our 75-mile service radius, and the standard Waxahachie repair is a two-handshake affair — our driver arrives with a [fleet loaner](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) and departs with your car, then the handshakes reverse when it’s done. Historic-district street parking, bypass office lots and rural addresses off 287 all work; the repair itself reaches you as photographs, teardown to delivery. First move is one picture to (817) 907-2822.

Quarter class is real but modest — shallow dents on horizontal panels, pure PDR work — and we’d rather characterize it exactly than inflate it. The bigger open questions in this ring are older: the June 2023 tennis-ball Wednesday and the September 2023 double-tap left damage that’s still being discovered on trade-ins, and both of those claims remain perfectly valid despite the years — the date of loss belongs to the storm, not to the day you finally saw the dents. **Q: How big was the hail on June 14, 2023 — really?** A: The log’s certified sizes: 2.50 inches twice — including a trained spotter’s “ping pong ball to tennis ball sized hail in Waxahachie” — a 2.00-inch hen egg, and a 3.00-inch entry northeast of town. That last one carries the remark worth reading twice: “3.75 inch hail measured on a photo.” The NWS logged the conservative figure; the spotter’s own measurement ran bigger. Either number puts June 14 in glass-and-refinish territory, two days after Mansfield’s five-inch record and one day before Sanger’s — Ellis County’s full membership in the famous week, whether the metro remembers or not. **Q: Nobody talked about that storm. Can I still claim damage from it?** A: Yes — and this is precisely the claim late discovery was built for. Texas comprehensive coverage keys to the storm’s date, and carriers routinely pay hail claims documented long after the fact; what changes with age is the burden of proof, not the right. The file has to connect your dent pattern to the logged storm: raking-light photography, a dent map consistent with tennis-ball-class impacts, and the dated NWS rows this page preserves. That’s our standard documentation on every Ellis County estimate. The practical ceiling is your policy’s own terms and whether the vehicle was yours on the storm date — text us the specifics and you’ll get a straight read on both. **Q: The September 2023 storm came in two waves. Why does that matter for a claim?** A: Because one evening produced two damage windows three hours apart — golf balls at 7:38 PM, a second round past 9:30 — and adjusters reconcile damage against timelines. A car moved between the rounds (home from dinner, out of a garage, in from the driveway) may carry damage from only one window, and a claim narrative that says “the storm” when the evidence says “the second wave” invites needless friction. Our estimates pin the timeline explicitly — where the car sat, during which round — using the same dated rows printed above. Small discipline, smoother claim. **Q: What does hail repair cost in Waxahachie?** 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 forgotten day’s 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 rides on us, printed on the estimate. **Q: You’re an hour up I-35E. What does the process look like from here?** A: Like handing your keys to a valet who returns days later with the car fixed. In practice: photos by text, a straight answer back, and — if the claim proceeds — a scheduled swap wherever the car lives: our driver arrives with an insured, unmetered fleet loaner and leaves with your vehicle. Teardown photos, the counted dent map, and each supplement exchange arrive on your phone as they happen. Then the reverse swap. Waxahachie sits comfortably inside the 75-mile service radius, so none of the driving — theirs or yours — appears anywhere on the invoice. **Q: Does filing a hail claim put my policy or my rates at risk?** A: Your policy: protected by regulation. 28 TAC §5.7016 forbids nonrenewal of a personal auto policy solely for weather claims, and comprehensive losses carry no fault determination. Your rates: not guaranteed by anyone, and we won’t pretend otherwise — but Ellis County premiums move by territory after seasons like 2023 and 2024, and that movement reaches every mailbox in 75165, claimants and abstainers alike. Refusing recoverable repair money to court an unmovable rate is the losing side of that math, and the rates guide shows the working.
