Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What an SR-22 is
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 insurer issues the policy and submits the certificate when its underwriting rules allow the filing.
02How it works
Three steps to move a filing forward
Read the notice.
Find the required certificate, agency instructions, conviction or judgment date, and any separate license conditions listed in your notice.
Gather your details.
Have your Texas license information, vehicle details, current policy information, and notice available so the insurance representative can review the filing request.
Compare the policy.
Ask how the insurer handles the SR-22, total term premium, installment charges, filing fee, and coverage for the way you drive.
03Before you call
What to know before you call
Who may need one
Texas drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after certain convictions, an uninsured ticket, a coverage lapse, or a suspension related to insurance or driving requirements. A prior DUI or OWI may also lead to added paperwork. Your own notice from Texas DPS, a court, or another agency decides what applies.
What it costs
Cost can reflect the driving record, conviction or judgment, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, claims history, policy type, and whether you own a car. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words before choosing. The insurer sets the price and decides whether to accept the risk.
How long you need it
The filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions may affect what appears on your record or notice. Check the requirement with Texas DPS and keep your own records consistent with that date.
Why drivers call us
The help is a straightforward review of your notice, vehicle use, and policy choices without judgment. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or change what Texas DPS requires. Those decisions belong to the court, agency, or insurer involved.
04Policy types

Owner policy

Other vehicle classes
Mention motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or other vehicle types before quoting. Different underwriting rules may apply, and the required filing still must match your notice.
