SR-22 Insurance in Texas: What You Need to Know
In Texas, certain driving offenses, particularly those indicating high-risk behavior, require drivers to file an SR-22 form, also known as a Financial Responsibility Insurance Certificate. This form is a certification from your insurance provider filed with the Texas Department of Public Safety. It demonstrates you meet the state's minimum liability coverage requirements:
- $30,000 for bodily injury or death per person
- $60,000 for bodily injury or death per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
This Financial Responsibility Insurance Certificate is necessary for drivers considered high-risk and must be maintained for two years. If your SR-22 is canceled or terminated and not immediately reestablished, your license will be suspended.
