TexasSure Vehicle Insurance Verification


What Is Vehicle Insurance Verification?


TexasSure, the vehicle insurance verification program, came about when the Texas Legislature directed the Texas Departments of Insurance, Public Safety, Motor Vehicles, and Information Resources to develop a system to reduce the number of uninsured motorists. Working together, the agencies have compiled a database that connects every registered vehicle in the state by its license plate, vehicle identification number (VIN), and liability insurance policy. That means that law enforcement officers and tax assessor-collectors can immediately access the database and verify if you are driving without insurance.

In Texas, 20% of the vehicles on our roads have no insurance coverage. That’s 1 in every 5 cars and trucks. Law-abiding Texans are paying an estimated $1 billion annually in optional insurance coverage to protect themselves against uninsured and underinsured motorists.

Got insurance? Great, you’re good to go and there’s nothing else you need to do.

Driving without insurance? The TexasSure program will put an end to the days of uninsured motorists, drivers dropping coverage after receiving a valid insurance card, and fraudulent insurance cards. So, get insured!

Q. Will all police officers use the TexasSure system or just Department of Public Safety troopers?


A. The system is available to all law enforcement agencies statewide.



Q. If I get pulled over, will TexasSure tell the officer whether I have insurance?

A. In most cases, yes.


Q. What if I don't have my proof of insurance card, and TexasSure verifies my coverage, will I get a ticket?

A. Each law enforcement agency will set its own policies; however, the law states that you must show proof of insurance. So it’s best to keep that card available at all times.


Q. What happens if I'm pulled over and I don't have my proof of insurance card and TexasSure doesn't verify my coverage?

A. Your chances of getting a ticket go up dramatically. However, each law enforcement agency will develop its own policies.

 

Back to the office!

I have been out of the office off and on for the last couple of months and have not posted here since early December. Our son Russell graduated from Texas A&M in December with his Master of Agribusiness and was married to Rachel Reed of Pittsburg, TX on January 9th. Wedding showers, holidays, graduation, and the wedding kept us away quite a bit. I will try to be a little more timely with the blog in the future. I am attaching a photo or two of the newlyweds.
