Texas Auto Insurance Laws
Liability coverage pays other people's expenses for accidents
caused by drivers covered under your policy. This is the only
auto insurance required by Texas auto insurance law. The required
minimum liability coverage are: $20,000 per injured person,
up to a total of $40,000 for everyone hurt in an accident,
and $15,000 for property damage. This basic coverage is called
20/40/15 coverage. However, basic coverage might not be enough
if you are held liable for an accident. You should consider
buying more than the basic limits.
Texas car insurance companies will offer optional coverage
such as collision, comprehensive, medical payments coverage,
and uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage.
