Reader question:

How long does it take to go through with all of my SR-22 filing in Texas?

That is an excellent question, Rick.

SR-22 filing has often been a drawn out procedure, involving getting on the phone with your car insurance company and requesting the form, and then possibly waiting for it to come in the mail, or become available on your car insurance company’s web page for your personal account. Overall, your limbo between getting your driver’s license suspended and getting it reinstated could be as long as two or three weeks while you waited for the relevant information to come in the mail.

Now, though, Texas SR-22 auto insurance has this great service offered by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It’s called the DPS Express (thankfully, it’s a lot faster than the pony express). As soon as you get your Texas SR-22 form from your auto insurance company, instead of going through all of the red tape that is the DPS and spending a long time without your license, you can do the same SR-22 filing online at the Texas department of public safety’s website and get everything done with in that very day, so that you can get back on the road. It does have a small cost of twenty five dollars, though. However, this is nothing for anyone who would lose much more by being without a car.
