You are right in saying that it is not good to be driving without car insurance because all vehicles in Texas must be insured. If you will be caught driving without car insurance in Texas, the penalties are substantial which starts with a fine between $175 and $350 for a first offense. And if you don’t learn your lesson the first time, the fines go up for the second and third offenses, and that third offense could result in the suspension of your driver’s license and the impoundment of your vehicle.

It could also kick in a nasty little citation labelled as “failure to maintain financial responsibility.” This kind of offense is in the category of “surchargeable violations.” In this case, you may end up paying more because you have to pay the fine for the ticket and then pay an additional penalty each year for up to three years. This penalty would apply even if you maintain your car insurance perfectly from that point on. So let me help you in finding great car insurance in Southeast Montgomery, Texas.
