Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What the SR-22 certificate proves
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with Texas DPS to show that required liability coverage is in place. It is not a separate insurance policy. The policy still contains the coverage terms, exclusions, and cancellation rules set by the insurer.
02How it works
How an SR-22 filing gets done
Read the notice.
Find the reason for the requirement, the agency named, and any instructions. Your notice controls what must be addressed for your situation.
Gather your details.
Have your identification, driving history information, vehicle details, current policy information, and court or Texas DPS paperwork available for the conversation.
Compare policy options.
Ask about owner, non-owner, and other applicable policies. The insurer decides eligibility, price, coverage, and whether electronic filing is available.
03Before you call
The questions behind every filing
Who may need one
Texas drivers may be asked to provide an SR-22 after a DWI (DUI), suspension, uninsured ticket, lapse, or another qualifying driving matter. Your own notice, court paperwork, and Texas DPS records decide whether a filing is required and what must be submitted.
What changes the price
Insurers consider the driving event, license history, coverage limits, vehicle, garaging location, driving use, claims, prior insurance, and other underwriting information. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in the policy documents. The insurer sets the price.
How long the filing lasts
Texas requires the SR-22 filing period to be two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions or additional requirements may apply, so check your notice and confirm the record with Texas DPS.
What the call covers
The conversation is practical and non-judgmental. It can help organize insurance and filing questions, but it cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or control an insurer’s decision.
04Policy types
Four filing situations to ask about
Owner policy
If you own or regularly use a vehicle, ask how an owner policy can cover that vehicle while meeting the filing requirement.
Non-owner policy
If you do not own a car but sometimes borrow one, ask whether a non-owner policy fits your driving and filing needs.
Non-owner details →Borrowed vehicle
Regular use of another person’s vehicle can affect underwriting. Explain who owns it, where it is kept, and how often you drive it.
Other vehicle use
Work vehicles, motorcycles, or multiple vehicles may need different policy handling. Describe every vehicle connected to your driving.

09FAQs
Common questions
What does an SR-22 certificate do?
An SR-22 certificate shows Texas DPS that an insurer has filed proof of required liability coverage. It is not a separate policy, and the insurer’s policy terms, exclusions, and cancellation rules still apply.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Texas?
The filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Your notice and Texas DPS record control, and exceptions or additional requirements may affect your situation.
What coverage do I need for an SR-22?
You need the liability coverage minimums shown on this page unless your notice or insurer identifies another requirement. The insurer confirms eligibility and files the certificate if it accepts the policy.
Can I get a non-owner SR-22 policy?
A non-owner policy may fit someone who does not own a car but drives vehicles they do not own. It may not cover a regularly available vehicle, so describe your actual use to the insurer.
Can an SR-22 be filed electronically?
Electronic filing may be available when the insurer supports it and accepts the application. Ask whether the insurer can send the certificate electronically and verify the record with Texas DPS.
Is the cheapest SR-22 insurance always best?
No. A lower quoted price may come with different limits, payment terms, exclusions, or filing charges. Compare the full policy term, coverage, installment charges, and filing fee before choosing.
Can I drive while my license is suspended?
Do not drive until you confirm that your operating privilege is valid. An SR-22 filing alone does not authorize driving, and the notice or Texas DPS record may list other requirements.
What happens if my SR-22 policy is cancelled?
A cancellation can interrupt the filing and may lead to another notice or requirement. Ask the insurer about cancellation procedures and confirm any record change with Texas DPS.
What are the Texas DWI (DUI) SR-22 rules?
A DWI (DUI) may be one reason Texas requires an SR-22, but your notice and Texas DPS record decide what applies. Review those records and ask the insurer about the policy and filing.
Does credit affect SR-22 insurance?
Credit information may be one factor an insurer considers where permitted by its underwriting practices. Other factors can include driving history, vehicle, location, coverage, and prior insurance. The insurer sets the price.
What should I have ready for an SR-22 call?
Have your notice, identification, license information, vehicle and garaging details, prior policy information, and court or Texas DPS paperwork ready. Accurate details help the insurer review the request.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Possibly. A non-owner policy may be considered if you do not own a vehicle, but regular access to a household or borrowed car can change the appropriate policy type.
Does Texas use an FR-44 instead of an SR-22?
Texas uses the SR-22 certificate for this type of filing and does not use an FR-44 in this state. Your own notice and Texas DPS record remain the controlling sources.
What can this service not do?
This service can explain insurance and filing questions by phone, but it cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, guarantee approval, or control an insurer’s price or filing speed.
