When your roof is appearing to be sparkling that is a indicator that the fiberglass is reflecting the sunlight and this is not good.  The fiberglass is part of the structure of the shingle that should not be exposed.  The fiberglass showing indicates  heavy granule loss and the UV light is breaking down the shingle at an faster rate.  You should have it inspected to see if your insurance company will replace the roof.

This is algae that is growing on the roof. Limestone was used as a filler in old shingles.  Around 10 years it becomes very noticeable.  The algae normally grows on the north side of the roof because the sun doesn’t hit that side of the house to dry out the moister on the roof.  Roof this old should be inspected as well.  Most roofs in Texas don’t last past the 15 year mark.  There is a good chance you could get a new roof paid for by your insurance company.  

Depending on the brand, the  type of roof shingle and the weather conditions are key factors in how long they last.  In Texas most roof shingles last 12-15 years for their lifespan.
