What is basic auto insurance in Texas

Drivers in Texas are required to have at least basic insurance. Most states have basic requirements for insurance but they are not all the same. One thing they do have in common is they all require some form of liability coverage. At Heydari Financial Group in Houston, TX, we are an independent agency and believe in treating our customers with honesty and integrity. Our years of experience make us a great option when you have questions about your insurance coverage. 

The law in Texas mandates drivers show they are able to pay for any damage they may cause in an accident where they are responsible. Most people show this with auto insurance. The amount of liability insurance you must have is 30/60/25. In an accident where the driver or passengers are injured, you need $30,000 in personal injury converge with a total of $60,000 per accident if more than one person is injured. You also must have $25,000 for damage to property which in most cases will be the other vehicle. 

The 30/60/25 is the basic amount you must have but not necessarily the amount you should have. If the injuries or damage were to go beyond the limits of your coverage, you would need to pay the overage out of your own pocket. If that would be a hardship, you might want to have more than basic auto insurance. 

For vehicles with a lease or a loan, you will need to carry collision and comprehensive insurance as required by the lessor or the lender. This coverage protects the vehicle which protects their investment in your vehicle.
