Answers

   If I renew my vehicle registration using the Internet, do I still need to provide insurance information?
Yes. If you live in a county that provides for online vehicle registration, the Internet registration renewal system will require you to provide your insurance information. Back

   If I renew my vehicle registration by mail, do I still need to mail a copy of my proof of insurance card to the county tax office?
Yes.  Back

   Can I renew my registration at the county tax office if I forgot my proof of insurance card?
Yes. If the county tax office is able to verify your insurance through TexasSure you will be able to renew your registration. If the insurance information cannot be verified, you will be required to show a valid proof of insurance card. State law requires that you keep your vehicle insured at all times, and keep proof of insurance with you while driving.  Back

   If TexasSure cannot verify my insurance, but I have my proof of insurance card, can I still renew my registration?
Yes, but you must show your proof of insurance.  Back

   I am insured, but when I renewed my registration TexasSure could not confirm my insurance. What should I do?
Staff at your local county tax office will try to help you identify or resolve the problem. For example, you may be asked to verify that your name, address and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) shown on your vehicle is the same as that shown on both your insurance policy and the vehicle title/registration.  If you notice any discrepancies, you should contact your insurance agent or your insurance company.   Back

   What will happen if I cancel my insurance, or it expires after renewing my registration?
The TexasSure program will continually monitor whether vehicle owners have valid insurance coverage. Beginning Spring 2010, notification letters will be sent to vehicle owners who allow their coverage to lapse.   Back

   What happens if I don’t have minimum insurance coverage?
Texas law provides severe penalties for driving without insurance. The first conviction may result in a fine up to $350 plus court costs and possible additional fees, as authorized by Transportation Code Chapter 708. Subsequent convictions can result in fines of $350 to $1,000 and suspension of your driver license.  Back
