Yes, if you have been convicted of driving without insurance in Texas for a second time, normally, your license will be suspended and to reinstate it you will be required to obtain and carry a SR-22 for two years after your conviction date.
The state of Texas law requires people who operate a vehicle in Texas to be able to pay for any car accidents they cause. Most motorists do this by purchasing automobile liability insurance. Section 601 of the Texas Transportation code is titled the Motor Vehicle Responsibility Act and it states that the financial responsibility motorists in TX should have and penalties for not doing so.
What is SR22 Auto Insurance
Q: What is a SR22 auto insurance certificate?
A: An SR22 is a form that must be filed by your car insurance company if you choose to restore your license after a suspension. The SR-22 is, essentially, meant to keep the Texas Department of Public Safety updated on the status of your insurance.
After you have your license suspended, you have a probationary period where you must constantly submit proof of insurance–here is where the SR-22 comes in–and if you fail to have insurance coverage, then your license will be suspended again.
