Texas: Insurance and SR-22
Official-Source Information
Texas publishes a separate process for some insurance and financial-responsibility holds. Not every insurance-related suspension requires an SR-22. Match the exact wording on your notice or official record to the state's current instructions before acting.

Direct source-backed answer
This Texas suspension falls under the No-Insurance / Safety Responsibility track (Texas Transportation Code Section 601). There are two ways it can happen. First, routine no-insurance cases are flagged through TexasSure verification (Section 601.191); if you don't respond with proof of insurance, your license and registration are suspended. Second, an at-fault crash while uninsured leads to a Safety Responsibility suspension, which offers a few ways to come into compliance: an SR-11 release, an SR-19 installment plan, or a security deposit, plus an SR-22 filing. If you have multiple no-insurance convictions in a short window, you'll be required to get an SR-22A, a prepaid 6-month certificate. To reinstate your license: obtain valid Texas insurance meeting the minimum liability limits (30/60/25), have your insurer electronically file an SR-22 that you must maintain for 2 years from your most recent conviction or reinstatement, and pay the $100 Safety Responsibility reinstatement fee (plus a $5.75 fee if you pay online). If you have more than one enforcement action against you, the $100 fee applies to each one. Note that Texas repealed its Driver Responsibility surcharge program on September 1, 2019 (House Bill 2048), so the current no-insurance reinstatement cost is just the $100 fee, with no annual surcharge.
Published fee information
