Minimum Coverage Requirements in Texas

Texas operates as a tort liability state, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance pays for damages. The Texas Department of Insurance requires all drivers to carry proof of financial responsibility — typically auto liability insurance — and enforces this through electronic verification with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Bodily Injury Liability

Pays medical bills, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident. Senior drivers on fixed income should consider 100/300 limits to protect retirement assets from lawsuit judgments.

Property Damage Liability

Covers damage to another driver's vehicle, fence, building, or property when you're at fault.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Verbal rejection doesn't count, and the coverage is added automatically if the rejection form isn't signed.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage must be offered at the same limits as your liability policy, but you can reject it in writing.

Comprehensive and Collision

Comprehensive covers theft, hail, vandalism, and animal strikes; collision covers your vehicle damage in an at-fault crash.
