The insurer decides the price and filing speed. Stanton drivers are served by phone from Big Spring, not from a local Stanton office.
The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with Texas DPS to show that required liability coverage is in place. It is not a separate policy and does not replace the insurance contract. The insurer issues the certificate after reviewing the driver and selected policy.
01How it works
From notice to filed certificate
Read the notice
Find the filing instructions, conviction or judgment date, agency details, and any separate requirements listed for your driving record.
Gather your details
Have your license information, vehicle details, current policy information, and notice available so the insurance questions can be handled accurately.
Review the filing
Ask how the insurer handles the SR-22, what policy type fits, and which items still belong with Texas DPS or the court.
02Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
Who may need one
Texas drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after an uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, suspension-related matter, OWI or DUI, or another qualifying event. Your own notice and driving record decide whether a filing is required, what must be filed, and whether additional steps apply.
What it costs
Cost is shaped by the driving record, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, policy type, insurer rules, and payment history. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price, and quotes can differ for the same Stanton driver.
How long the filing lasts
The filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions or additional requirements may affect what remains active, so check the notice, insurer record, and Texas DPS information.
Why drivers call us
The help is a calm review of the filing request, policy type, and information an insurer may need. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or override a Texas DPS record.
03Policy types
Policy types to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you regularly drive a vehicle titled or registered to you and need the SR-22 connected with that coverage.
Non-owner policy
A non-owner option may fit someone who does not own a car but sometimes drives borrowed vehicles. Ask how exclusions and vehicle access apply.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Operator coverage may be worth discussing when your driving privilege matters more than ownership. The insurer decides eligibility and the policy terms.
Other vehicle classes
Ask separately about motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or other vehicle classes because the available policy and filing treatment can differ.

04Minimum coverage
Texas liability minimums
The minimums in the table are the legal floor for the listed liability coverage. They are not a promise that a serious crash will be fully paid, so ask how higher limits and other coverage may affect the policy.
- Bodily injury, one person
- $30,000
- Bodily injury, two or more people
- $60,000
- Property damage
- $25,000
Standard Texas auto liability minimums. Source: Texas DPS. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage must be offered and is included unless the insured rejects it in writing.

08FAQs
SR-22 questions from Stanton drivers
Do you have an office in Stanton?
Service is provided by phone from Big Spring, and there is no local office in Stanton. The phone line handles insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and Texas DPS handle their own decisions and records.
Where is my Stanton court listed?
The court named on your citation or notice is the place to direct court questions. An SR-22 discussion can help separate the insurance filing from court paperwork, but it cannot decide or change a court matter.
Can Stanton transit users get a non-owner policy?
A Stanton resident who mainly uses rides, transit, or borrowed vehicles may ask about non-owner coverage. Eligibility depends on the insurer, driving record, vehicle access, and the requirements shown on the individual notice.
What if my car is garaged in Stanton?
Tell the insurer that the vehicle is normally garaged in Stanton and provide the correct address. Garaging location can affect underwriting, policy use, and the information used to review the filing.
Can I keep out-of-state insurance while living in Stanton?
Do not assume an out-of-state policy satisfies a Texas SR-22 request. Ask the insurer how the policy, vehicle location, and Texas DPS filing requirements apply to your current residence and driving situation.
Does Interstate 20 commuting affect my Stanton policy?
Regular Interstate 20 commuting can make accurate mileage and vehicle use important during the insurer review. Describe where the car is kept, how it is driven, and whether work travel crosses county lines.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with Texas DPS to show required coverage. The policy provides the coverage, while the certificate communicates the filing to the agency.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Texas?
The filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Your notice and record should be checked for exceptions, additional requirements, or information that may affect the period.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Possibly. A non-owner policy may be available for someone who drives borrowed vehicles, but the insurer decides eligibility, exclusions, coverage terms, and whether the arrangement meets the stated filing requirement.
Does Texas use an FR-44?
Texas does not use an FR-44. The certificate named for this filing is an SR-22, and Texas DPS is the agency that receives it.
Will an SR-22 reinstate my license?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself reinstate a license. Check the notice and Texas DPS information before driving.
What should I have ready for an SR-22 request?
Have the notice, license information, conviction or judgment details, vehicle information, garaging address, and current policy documents ready. The insurer may need additional information before deciding whether and how to file.
