Each state requires drivers to carry a certain amount of auto insurance, and Texas is no different.

Unfortunately, some people disobey Texas laws and are either underinsured or not insured at all. People may do this for a variety of reasons, like avoiding payment of a monthly insurance premium or to make that payment lower.

These numbers for liability limits may seem high, but the reality is that insurance can protect drivers from having to pay even larger amounts if an accident occurs. You have rights if you were hit by a driver that was not carrying the proper amount of insurance. Uninsured or underinsured motorists should be held accountable for their actions if they caused you harm.

How Much Insurance Coverage do Texas Drivers Need?

Texas drivers must carry bodily injury liability insurance of at least $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident. Texas drivers must also have property damage liability insurance at a minimum of $30,000.
