Texas SR22 Insurance

 
 

What is SR-22 auto insurance?

An SR-22 is a certificate of insurance. When a driver’s license is suspended, the State of Texas will sometimes allow a driver to obtain a provisional license by submitting an SR-22 form.

What’s special about Texas SR-22 insurance?

The SR-22 is sent to the DPS and as long as the insurance policy attached to the form stays current, the license is valid. However, if at any time during the required period the insurance lapses or is cancelled, the DPS will be notified and the driver’s license can be suspended again and the required time period will start over.

How do I get an SR-22 form?

When a person purchases a Texas car insurance with an SR-22, they will be provided the form by the insurance company.

What do I do with the SR-22 form when I get it?

The form is submitted on pink paper, along with the fine, to the Texas DPS. It can be mailed or submitted in-person at select DPS offices around the State of Texas.
