SR-22 Insurance in Texas: Same-Day Filing With TxDPS

Court or TxDPS told you that you need an SR-22? A-MAX writes the policy behind it and files the certificate for you, often the same day. Enter your zip code below to compare quotes from 35+ carriers.

What is an SR-22 in Texas?

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with TxDPS to prove you carry at least the Texas minimum of 30/60/25 liability coverage, usually required after a DUI, driving uninsured, or serious or repeat violations. A-MAX writes the policy behind your SR-22 and files it for you, often the same day, so you can reinstate your license or meet your state requirement.

You may need one if the state requires you to prove financial responsibility after a serious violation. Common reasons include:

A DUI or DWI conviction

Driving without insurance, or causing an at-fault accident while uninsured

Multiple moving violations or too many points on your record

A license suspension you need to reinstate

If you do not own a car, you likely need a non-owner SR-22 instead. An A-MAX agent can tell you which one fits your situation.

How does an SR-22 work in Texas?

An SR-22 is not a policy on its own. It is a form your insurer files with the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) confirming you carry at least the state minimum of 30/60/25. Once it is on file, the state can verify your coverage electronically. If the policy lapses, the insurer notifies TxDPS, which can restart your required period, so keeping it active matters.

How much does SR-22 insurance cost in Texas?

The SR-22 filing itself is a small fee, usually $15 to $50. The larger cost is the policy behind it, which is often higher than a standard policy because the reason you need an SR-22 also affects your rate. Because carriers price these situations very differently, comparing companies is the best way to keep it affordable, and A-MAX shops 35+ carriers for you. A-MAX also offers monthly plans with a low down payment so you can start right away.

How long do you need an SR-22 in Texas?

In Texas the requirement is typically two years, though your exact term depends on your case. Once the required period ends and TxDPS clears you, the SR-22 can be removed and your rate often improves.

Owner vs non-owner SR-22

If you own the car you drive, your SR-22 attaches to your auto policy. If you do not own a car, a non-owner SR-22 meets the same state requirement without being tied to a vehicle. A-MAX writes both and can tell you which one you need. For a general overview of how the certificate works, see SR-22 insurance.
