How long is SR22 Insurance For?

Henry,

SR22 insurance coverage in Texas is normally required for a period of 2-3 years from the date the drivers license was re-instated after a Texas DWI conviction. But you’ll need to check with the Texas DPS to be certain of your specific SR22 insurance requirements. Normally this will be mailed to you in a certified letter when your TX drivers license is first re-instated.

Will the premiums for SR22 insurance be more costly?

Mel, 

An SR22 form is what a drunk driver must fill out in order to obtain insurance. Getting coverage after getting a DUI can be very difficult.

There are no laws in effect that regulate the premiums that are charged. What this means is that each company is free to charge whatever prices they want in order to issue you one of these high risk SR22 insurance policies. Knowing this, the best thing you can do is to comparison shop and get quoted on as many policies as you possibly can before deciding on a particular insurance company.

This website can do just that for you. All you need to do is fill out a short form and with a click of the mouse have several companies to compare.

Hope this information is useful in your search. Thank you for Asking a great Question.
