01The basics
What an SR-22 actually does
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 erase a ticket, change a court decision, or by itself restore driving privileges.
02How it works
How an SR-22 filing gets done
Read the notice.
Check the court, Texas DPS reference, required certificate, dates, and any instructions before discussing coverage or filing details.
Gather your information.
Have your driver details, vehicle information, current policy details, and notice available so the insurer can review the correct situation.
Compare the policy.
Ask about coverage, total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee before choosing an insurer.
03Before you call
The questions behind every filing
Who may need to file
Texas drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after a DWI (DUI), suspension, uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, or another matter identified by the court or Texas DPS. Your own notice controls the requirement, so review its wording and follow up with the agency or court named there.
What drives the price
Cost can change with driving history, DWI (DUI) or other violations, vehicle type, garaging address, coverage limits, policy type, and insurer underwriting. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee. Each insurer sets its own price, and a filing requirement does not create one standard cost.
How long the filing lasts
In Texas, the filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Exceptions or additional requirements may apply. Check the notice, ask Texas DPS about the record, and avoid assuming the filing ends until the record confirms it.
Why drivers call us
The conversation can sort through your notice, vehicle ownership, garaging address, and policy choices without judgment. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or override an insurer's underwriting decision or Texas DPS record.
04Policy types
Which policy fits your situation
Owner policy
If you own and regularly drive a vehicle in Kennedale, ask whether an owner policy matches the vehicle, address, and SR-22 requirement.
Non-owner policy
If you do not own a car but sometimes borrow one, ask whether non-owner coverage fits your driving and filing circumstances.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
If your access to vehicles changes between work, family, or borrowed transportation, explain that pattern so the insurer can review the appropriate policy.
Other vehicle classes
If the filing involves a motorcycle, commercial vehicle, or another vehicle class, identify it before coverage is selected.

09FAQs
SR-22 questions from Kennedale drivers
Do you have an office in Kennedale?
No. Service for Kennedale is provided by phone from Burleson, and there is no local office in Kennedale. The conversation covers insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and Texas DPS make their own decisions.
Where do Kennedale drivers send court paperwork questions?
Use the court named on your Kennedale notice for court paperwork questions. Insurance filing questions can be discussed by phone, but the court decides court matters and Texas DPS maintains its agency record.
Can Kennedale residents get a non-owner policy?
Kennedale residents who do not own a vehicle may be able to discuss non-owner coverage with an insurer, depending on driving circumstances and underwriting. Explain which vehicles you borrow and how often before selecting a policy.
Does garaging in Kennedale affect an SR-22 policy?
Yes, the vehicle's garaging address is information an insurer may review. Give the actual Kennedale address where the vehicle is usually kept, along with commuting, household driver, and vehicle use details.
Can Kennedale drivers use insurance from another state?
An out-of-state policy may not satisfy a Texas SR-22 requirement in every situation. Tell the insurer where the vehicle is registered and garaged, then check the notice and Texas DPS instructions before relying on that policy.
How does transit affect non-owner coverage in Kennedale?
Using transit for some trips does not answer whether non-owner coverage fits. The insurer needs to know when you drive, which vehicles you borrow, and whether you regularly use a household or employer vehicle in or around Kennedale.
What is an SR-22 in Texas?
An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with Texas DPS. It shows required coverage is in place, but it is not a separate policy and does not decide court matters or restore driving privileges by itself.
How long is an SR-22 required in Texas?
The supplied Texas filing period is two years from the date of the conviction or judgment. Your notice and agency record control, and exceptions or additional requirements may apply.
Does Texas use an FR-44?
No. Texas uses the SR-22 certificate for the filing requirement described here. Read your notice carefully because the exact requirement, dates, and any additional conditions come from the court or Texas DPS.
Can an SR-22 erase an uninsured ticket?
No. An SR-22 does not erase an uninsured ticket or decide what happens in court. Review the citation and follow instructions from the court named on it, while handling insurance filing questions separately.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car in Kennedale?
Possibly, through a non-owner policy if an insurer determines it fits your circumstances. Tell the insurer that you live in Kennedale, do not own a vehicle, and may borrow specific types of vehicles.
Does an SR-22 automatically reinstate my license?
No. The filing may be one requirement among several. Confirm the status of your operating privilege with the appropriate agency and do not drive until you know it is valid.
