Need an SR-22 before you can get your driving privilege back?
DUI, no insurance, a suspension, or no car can make the next step unclear. We help you work through the filing by phone.
We review what you need and explain policy options. Texas DPS controls processing time, so we never promise a specific turnaround.

- Tell us what triggered it. We identify the filing situation.
- Choose coverage. We explain available policy structures and required limits.
- Keep it active. Your insurer submits the SR-22 and you avoid a lapse.
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a financial-responsibility certificate filed by an insurance provider with the Texas Department of Public Safety. It verifies that you maintain required motor-vehicle liability insurance. Texas DPS says an insurance card cannot substitute for an SR-22 when one is required.
Who needs one
Texas lists situations including certain DWI convictions, driving while a license is invalid, repeated no-insurance convictions, crash-related suspensions and judgments. The actual requirement comes from your record and DPS action.
The four filing types
- Owner SR-22 for a vehicle you own.
- Non-owner SR-22 when you need the filing but do not own a vehicle.
- Owner-operator coverage for eligible owned and non-owned driving situations.
- Motorcycle SR-22 where the policy is written for a motorcycle.
What it costs
There is no honest universal price. Premiums can change with driving history, vehicle, address, limits, insurer underwriting and other rating factors. We do not promise a low price before review.
Texas minimum coverage
These are the Texas minimum liability amounts. Your circumstances or lender may call for more protection.
How to get one today
Have your driver's license information, any current policy details, the notice or court information that mentions the requirement, and vehicle details if you own a car.
How long you need it
Texas DPS generally requires the certificate for two years from the conviction requiring it, or from the judgment date in an applicable crash case. A later qualifying conviction can affect the period.

Mistakes that restart your clock
- Allowing the policy to cancel before replacement coverage is active.
- Assuming an insurance card substitutes for the certificate.
- Ignoring a new qualifying conviction.
- Waiting until the last minute to resolve a filing issue.
