Texas Auto Insurance Requirements

A girl typing on a laptop

Texas, like most states, requires drivers to have at least a minimum liability insurance policy. The limits are 30/60/25 in Texas, which includes:

Texas also requires insurers to offer additional coverage options, including personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. A PIP policy covers medical expenses and lost income for you and your passengers, regardless of who caused the accident. Your UM/UIM coverage provides financial protection if you’re involved in a crash with a driver with little or no insurance.

You must opt out in writing if you don’t want these extra coverages. Otherwise, your insurance company will automatically include them in your policy.

Is minimum coverage enough in Huntsville?

Many experts advise purchasing more auto coverage than Texas’s state minimums, as the required limits may not be enough to cover damages after a major accident. The Texas Department of Insurance also encourages drivers to get higher liability limits to minimize their out-of-pocket costs if they cause an accident.

Additionally, your lender likely requires comprehensive and collision coverage if you finance or lease your car.
