Auto Insurance Minimum Requirements
Important Notes
Texas law requires insurers to automatically include $2,500 in PIP coverage unless the consumer explicitly declines it in writing, though it is not technically a mandatory coverage for vehicle registration. Real-time compliance tracking is verified using TexasSure.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
Must be provided automatically matching standard liability minimums unless explicitly rejected in writing.
SR-22 Filings
Required for up to 3 continuous years following suspension via dynamic traffic infractions or a DUI conviction.
Alternatives to Insurance
A $85,000 cash or security deposit with the state comptroller, a surety bond, or a county judge deposit.
