Texas Car Insurance Requirements
Overview
Understanding car insurance requirements in Texas is crucial for all drivers. The state mandates specific minimum coverage levels to ensure protection in the event of an accident. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know.
Minimum Coverage Requirements
In Texas, drivers must carry the following minimum insurance coverages:
- $15,000 for property damage per accident.
- $20,000 for bodily injury or death of one person per accident.
- $40,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more persons per accident.
You can meet these requirements by purchasing a policy from a car insurance company licensed in Texas. Alternatively, self-bonding, or self-insuring, is another option.
Self-Insurance Option
Self-insurance comes with several benefits:
1. No Premiums or Renewals: You don't need to worry about premium payments, renewals, or cancellations.
2. Additional Coverage Flexibility: While self-insured, you can choose to purchase additional coverage from a traditional insurer for greater protection.
Considerations for Self-Insurance
While self-insuring is an option, it's not always the most efficient method. People often consider it when they feel uninsurable due to:
- A poor driving record.
- Bad credit history.
- Previous payment issues.
These factors can improve over time. As they do, switching to a traditional insurance policy may become a feasible alternative.
Self-insurance is a practical choice for those struggling with conventional insurance options. However, it's important to evaluate your situation regularly to determine if continuing as a self-insured driver is the best approach for you moving forward.
