No insurance cases in Texas have totally changed the landscape when it comes to maintaining your driving record and keeping your driver’s license in good standing with The Department of Public Safety. If you are caught driving without a valid insurance policy the possible ramifications are:

* Having your car towed and impounded
* Being assessed surcharges as high as $260.00 per year for 3 years = $780.00
* Having your license suspended
* If your license is already suspended you could be charged with a Class “B” misdemeanor punishable up to 6 months in jail

WHY IS TEXAS SO HARD ON NO INSURANCE CASES?

The reason is simple. Imagine a young child driving with her mother to school. As she crosses through the stop sign a negligent driver runs through the intersection impacting the side of the vehicle. The crash is so hard that it crushes the little girl’s leg and she is rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery. The rehab takes a full year to recover. Now imagine the other driver did not have insurance to cover the girl’s injuries. This would be a disgrace so much so that something had to be done to send a message to driver’s that you MUST carry insurance. There were too many driver’s that ignored and or did not care about the potential damage that can be caused in a car wreck that the legislature had to act. Texas has made the penalties so severe that it is cheaper to carry insurance than to get caught without it.
