If you get convicted of a DWI in Texas, do you have to tell your car insurance right away?
If you get convicted of a DWI in Texas, do you have to tell your car insurance right away or wait till they find out, and then raise the rates?
I have a friend that heard a rumor that you have to file some sort of SR24 (not exactly what it is) with your car insurance or if you get in an accident and they find out you have one on your record, they won’t pay for the car. I’m confused, but dont want to hang ourselves either.
You don’t have to tell them, they’ll find out.
That SR22 form is an endorsement on your auto policy – you USUALLY have to have it, if you’ve been driving WITHOUT insurance, or your license has been suspended. It’s not triggered by the DUI, it’s triggered by the suspension or lack of insurance.
Yes, they’ll find out about that DUI on their own – they’re going to run a motor vehicle record check every time your policy renews, and they’ll find it then. Don’t listen to rumors. When in doubt, talk to your agent.
