The basics
What an SR-22 actually does
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with Texas DPS to show that required auto liability coverage is in place. It is not a separate policy. The policy still controls coverage, exclusions, drivers, vehicles, and other terms.
01How it works
How the filing works in three steps
Read the notice
Keep the suspension, court, or Texas DPS notice nearby so the required certificate and dates can be reviewed accurately.
Gather your details
Prepare your license information, vehicle details, prior insurance information, and any court or agency paperwork connected with the requirement.
Compare policy paths
Ask about owner, non-owner, or other available coverage based on how you drive around Medina and whether you regularly use a vehicle.
02Before you call
What to know before you call
Who may need one
Texas drivers may be asked to obtain an SR-22 after an OWI or DUI, a suspension, an uninsured ticket, a lapse in coverage, or another reported driving matter. Your own notice decides whether a filing is required, what must be filed, and where questions should be directed.
What drives the price
Cost can be affected by the driving record, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, claims history, payment plan, and whether the policy is owner or non-owner. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee. The insurer sets the price after reviewing the application.
How long you need it
The filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions or additional requirements may apply, so check the notice and the record with Texas DPS rather than relying on a general estimate.
Why Medina drivers call
The help is a straightforward review of your paperwork, driving situation, and available policy types without judgment. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or change a Texas DPS record.
03Policy types
Four filing situations to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about this option if you own or regularly keep a vehicle in Medina and need coverage connected to that vehicle.
Non-owner policy
Ask whether non-owner coverage fits if you do not own a car but sometimes borrow one for errands, work, or trips outside Medina.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Discuss your driving pattern when vehicles belong to relatives, friends, or another household, because the insurer evaluates the people and vehicles involved.
Other vehicle classes
Mention motorcycles, commercial use, or unusual vehicles before quoting, since vehicle class and use can change available policy choices.

08FAQs
Common questions
Do you have an office in Medina?
No. Service is by phone from Kerrville, and there is no local office in Medina. The discussion can cover SR-22 paperwork, policy types, and questions about the notice you received.
Can Medina drivers get SR-22 help by phone?
Yes. Medina drivers can discuss insurance and filing questions by phone with a real person. Have the notice and vehicle or non-owner details available so the situation can be reviewed clearly.
Which court is listed on my Medina citation?
The citation or court paperwork identifies the court connected with your matter. Read that document carefully and direct court questions to the court named there, while insurance and filing questions can be reviewed separately.
Can I use non-owner coverage in Medina?
Non-owner coverage may fit a Medina driver who does not own a car but borrows vehicles. The insurer decides eligibility after reviewing driving history, vehicle access, and how the coverage would be used.
What if my car is garaged in Medina?
Tell the insurer that the vehicle is primarily garaged in Medina and provide the correct address. Garaging location can affect underwriting, policy information, and how regular driving is evaluated.
Can I keep out-of-state insurance while living in Medina?
An out-of-state policy may not meet the requirement for your Texas situation. Ask the insurer to review your residence, vehicle location, policy, and notice, and check agency instructions before relying on existing coverage.
What does an SR-22 do in Texas?
An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with Texas DPS to show required liability coverage. It is not a separate policy and does not decide whether a license is reinstated.
How long is an SR-22 required in Texas?
The supplied filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions can exist, so check your notice and Texas DPS record for the requirement that applies to you.
Does an SR-22 cover a car I borrow?
Coverage for a borrowed car depends on the policy type, vehicle owner, regular use, and policy terms. Explain how often you borrow the car and where it is normally kept before choosing coverage.
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 reviews the driver's record and vehicle use.
Is SR-22 the same as full coverage?
No. SR-22 describes a certificate filed with Texas DPS, while coverage choices describe the policy itself. Liability requirements, physical damage coverage, exclusions, and other terms must be reviewed separately.
Does filing an SR-22 reinstate my license?
No. The filing may be one requirement among several, but it does not reinstate a license or decide a court matter. Follow the notice and confirm your operating privilege with the appropriate agency before driving.
