Coverage available
Texas auto insurance starts with 30/60/25 — $30,000 bodily injury per person, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage. That’s higher than Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or New Mexico, largely because a 2011 law update raised the state’s minimum after lawmakers found the older limits didn’t hold up in serious accidents. Texas verifies coverage electronically through TexasSure, and every insurer must offer Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — if you don’t want it, you have to decline it in writing, not just skip it.
Rates vary sharply across Texas, driven by hail risk along the I-35 corridor, hurricane exposure near the Gulf Coast, and traffic density in the major metros:
| City | Estimated Full Coverage (Annual) |
|---|---|
| Dallas | $2,600 |
| Fort Worth | $2,400 |
| San Antonio | $2,300 |
| Houston | $2,244 |
| Austin | $2,200 |
| El Paso | $1,900 |
Estimates based on regional data — your actual rate depends on your driving history, vehicle, and coverage choices.

Coverage Options
Find the right coverage for where you are in life
Liability Only
Meets your state’s minimum requirement at the lowest possible cost.
Covers damage you cause to others, but nothing for your own vehicle. Meeting the legal minimum satisfies the law — it may not fully protect you financially after a serious accident.
Full Coverage
Adds comprehensive and collision for broader financial protection.
A higher deductible lowers your monthly premium but raises your out-of-pocket cost if you file a claim — choose a deductible you could comfortably cover today, not just afford on paper.
High-Risk / SR-22
Coverage options for drivers with violations, lapses, or DUIs.
Some quotes automatically include safe-driver, multi-policy, or usage-based discounts. Others don’t — always ask, since it can be the biggest swing factor in your final price.
Add-On Coverage
Roadside assistance, rental reimbursement, and more, as needed.
Optional coverage adds cost, but the right add-ons — like rental reimbursement — can save you far more than they cost if you’re ever without a car after an accident.

30/60/25
Texas's minimum liability coverage — higher than its neighbors
Texas law requires at least $30,000 bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage coverage — limits higher than every bordering state, last raised in 2011.
PIP
Every Texas policy must offer Personal Injury Protection
Unlike most states, Texas insurers are required to offer PIP coverage on every policy. If you don’t want it, you have to decline it in writing — it doesn’t just get left off by default.

What's the minimum car insurance required in Texas?

Is Texas a no-fault state?

Is digital proof of insurance accepted in Texas?
Yes — Texas accepts a digital insurance card on your phone, alongside the traditional paper card.
How does TexasSure verification work?
Insurers report your coverage electronically to the state through TexasSure. If a lapse isn’t reported as resolved, it can affect your vehicle registration.
What happens if I drive without insurance in Texas?
It’s a Class C misdemeanor — fines of $175–$350 for a first offense, up to $1,000 for repeat offenses, plus possible license and registration suspension and an SR-22 filing requirement for two years.
