What Is Required for Car Insurance in Texas?

To stay compliant, you need to meet certain minimums for insurance coverage. You must have $60,000 for bodily injury liability for an accident and $25,000 for property damage liability. Bodily injury liability will cover other people’s injuries if you are at fault in an accident. It can also provide a legal defense if another party files a lawsuit. This can cover loss of income, medical bills, or pain and suffering. Property damage liability will cover you if you damage someone else’s property. This can be a car, a house, fence, or another type of property damaged in an accident.
