- Once coverage is approved, the insurer submits the required certificate and you confirm next steps with DPS.
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a financial-responsibility certificate filed by an insurer. It is not a separate insurance policy, and it does not itself reinstate driving privileges.Who may need one
Texas may require a filing after certain convictions, a crash-related suspension, a judgment, or other qualifying financial-responsibility situations. The DPS record and court documents determine what applies.Four filing and proof terms to understand
- SR-22: proof of required future liability coverage.
- SR-26: a notice associated with cancellation of an SR-22 filing.
- Insurance card: evidence of a policy, but not a substitute for an SR-22 when DPS requires one.
- Non-owner policy: a possible liability option for eligible drivers without a vehicle of their own.
What it costs
There is no universal price. Your driving history, garaging address, vehicle, coverage limits, insurer rules, and payment arrangement can affect the premium. Ask for the full amount due at purchase, installment dates, fees, and the effective date before paying.Texas minimum liability coverage
Texas minimum financial-responsibility limits are commonly called 30/60/25. They are a legal baseline, not a guarantee that your assets are fully protected.| Liability coverage | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury per person | $30,000 |
| Bodily injury per crash | $60,000 |
| Property damage per crash | $25,000 |
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage generally must be offered and may be rejected in writing under Texas law.
