Auto Insurance Lookup

What is needed to satisfy the Texas SR22 insurance requirements is quite simple. The state simply needs to keep track of the financial responsibility for insurance of the driver. The need for it would be court ordered and required for at least two years.

In violating traffic laws, you may be subject to an order for a SR22. The form may be requested for those who are uninsured and have been in an accident, have a lot of tickets, or have moving violations. If the driver’s license has been suspended or revoked or there are a lot of traffic violations, it can be required.

The SR22 is a certificate issued by the auto insurance company. This is submitted to the Texas Department of Public Safety once issued. The company then will keep the state informed of your insurance status. It must be current at all times. The DPS will be informed if the policy has lapsed, is terminated or canceled.

All auto insurance companies will not offer SR22 documentation. It may be necessary to find a new company. First step is to inform your current company and they will let you know if they provide this service. It is possible your rates will increase. Just as with any auto insurance you will need to shop around for the best rates. Not owning a vehicle does not excuse the requirement for SR22. You will need to ask for a non owner SR22 policy.

The form is issued by the insurance company and filed with DPS. The order for the SR22 once given must have proof of SR22 insurance. Your current proof of insurance will not work. The documentation portion is the important part and you will not be able to drive without the exact kind of insurance requested.

The state of Texas requires that you keep the policy for two years minimum. Depending on the offense it may be ordered for a longer period of time. Moving to another state will not change the requirements. It will still be upon you to keep the same kind of policy, reporting to Texas, until the ordered time frame is completed. If moving in from another state with similar violations you will only need the SR22 if your previous state ordered it. A policy that is allowed to lapse, terminate or cancel will result in the time frame being restarted.

The consequences of any interruption in coverage can lead to the auto tags, registration and driver’s license being suspended. If you are stopped, whether or not you are properly insured will be in the system. Even if you have an insurance card you will be in compliance or violation according to the system, not what is presented.

To be sure you are following the Texas SR22 insurance requirements first inform the current insurance company, if there is one. If getting a new policy let them know what you need. Keep it current to prevent suspension and keep DPS informed of your current mailing address.

An SR22 filing against you means that there is cause to demand that you maintain insurance coverage for the vehicles you drive. With SR22 insurance, the insurer notifies the state if your policy lapses.
