Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What an SR-22 actually does
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Texas Department of Public Safety. It shows that the required auto liability coverage is in place. An SR-22 is not a separate policy, and the insurer decides whether to issue the policy and filing.
02How it works
How the filing works in three steps
Read the notice.
Find the required certificate name, agency instructions, conviction or judgment date, and any other conditions listed for your situation.
Explain your driving.
Share whether you own a car, borrow one, commute through Tarrant County, or need coverage without a vehicle.
Review the policy.
Compare the insurer's coverage, total term premium, payment terms, and filing details before deciding whether the policy fits.
03Before you call
What to know before you call
Who may need to file
In Texas, an SR-22 requirement may follow a DWI (DUI), suspension, uninsured ticket, lapse, or another matter identified by the Texas Department of Public Safety or a court. Your own notice decides whether you need one, what must be filed, and which conditions apply.
What drives the price
Cost can reflect the driving record, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, claims history, payment plan, and whether the policy is owner or non-owner coverage. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price and decides available terms.
How long the filing lasts
The Texas filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions or additional requirements may apply, so check your notice and confirm the record with Texas DPS before assuming the filing has ended.
Why drivers call us
The help is practical and non-judgmental: we organize the information, explain policy types, and identify questions for the insurer. We cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license. Your notice, court, insurer, and Texas DPS control those matters.
04Policy types
Which policy fits your situation
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you regularly drive a vehicle kept at your Richland Hills address and need the required certificate tied to that coverage.
Non-owner policy
Ask about a non-owner policy if you drive borrowed vehicles but do not own one. Eligibility depends on the insurer and your driving circumstances.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Ask how coverage works when you drive vehicles belonging to relatives, friends, or an employer. The insurer needs accurate information about regular access.
Other vehicle classes
Mention motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or other vehicle types before a quote. The available policy and filing treatment can differ by insurer.

Filing and reinstatement are different
An SR-22 may be one requirement among several after a suspension or other matter. Review your notice and confirm that your operating privilege is valid before driving, rather than relying on the filing alone.

09FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Richland Hills?
No. Service is provided by phone from Arlington, and there is no local office in Richland Hills. Calls are limited to insurance and filing questions.
Can Richland Hills drivers get help by phone?
Yes. Richland Hills drivers can discuss SR-22 questions, policy types, and documents by phone from Arlington. The insurer still makes the coverage and filing decision.
Which court is listed on my Richland Hills citation?
The court named on your citation controls court questions. Read the notice carefully and direct legal or case questions to that court; insurance filing help cannot decide the case.
Can transit use affect a Richland Hills non-owner policy?
Transit use alone does not determine eligibility. Explain how often you borrow or drive vehicles, whether you commute without owning a car, and what the insurer requires for non-owner coverage.
What if my car is garaged in Richland Hills?
Tell the insurer that the vehicle is primarily garaged in Richland Hills and provide the correct address. Garaging location can affect underwriting, policy information, and the insurer's price.
Can I use out-of-state insurance while living in Richland Hills?
Ask the insurer how an out-of-state policy affects a Texas SR-22 requirement. Your notice and Texas DPS records control, and coverage must meet the applicable filing conditions.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with Texas DPS to show required coverage. It is attached to an eligible policy rather than replacing that policy.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Texas?
The supplied Texas filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Check your notice for exceptions or additional requirements before ending coverage.
Does a DWI (DUI) always require an SR-22?
No single outcome applies to every case. A DWI (DUI) may be associated with a filing requirement, but your notice and Texas DPS determine whether an SR-22 is required.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Possibly. A non-owner policy may be available for someone who drives borrowed vehicles without owning one, but the insurer decides eligibility and the policy's limits.
Does Texas use an FR-44 filing?
No. Texas uses the SR-22 certificate described on this page. Your own notice remains important because it may list additional requirements beyond the insurance filing.
Will an SR-22 reinstate my license automatically?
No. An SR-22 may be only one requirement among several. Confirm the remaining conditions with the agency named in your notice and verify your operating privilege before driving.
