FAQ's for Drivers in Brownsville, TX

driver’s frequently asked question in Brownsville

What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Brownsville, TX?

Every state requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability coverage. Texas drivers are required to carry liability insurance to pay for damages and injuries inflicted on someone else in an auto accident.

  • $30,000; Bodily injury coverage per person; Max. payment for a single person that you injure in an auto accident.
  • $60,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; Max. payment for all injuries that you cause in an accident when more than one person is hurt.
  • $25,000; Property damage per accident; Max. payment for damaged property in an accident caused by you.

You like to keep it simple, and so do we! Just don’t go too minimalist and skip the auto insurance altogether (see our FAQ for more information). In Texas, you are legally required to obtain something called liability insurance. This is for your protection if you are deemed “at fault” in an accident that causes injury and lost wages to another driver or passenger in another vehicle. Liability coverage pays up to the amounts listed below. It also pays for damages to the other driver’s vehicle. Trust us, you’d want this coverage even if it wasn’t legally required!

Since Texas is a “no-fault” state, drivers are financially responsible for any accidents they cause. Consider this: $30,000 is the maximum payment for property damage but you collide with a $40,000 vehicle. If you are found at fault, you are on the hook for any damages beyond $30,000. And, other drivers can sue you for those damages. Between this and the high cost of medical care, we recommend you carry more than the minimum required coverage!

What Is the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit in Brownsville, TX?

It is illegal for an individual to operate a motor vehicle in Texas with the following BAC percentages:

  • .08%+ @ 21 years old or older
  • .04%+ for commercial vehicle drivers
  • .01%+ @ < 21 years old

Can I use my digital insurance card in Texas?

Yes! Getting pulled over in Texas is slightly less panicky since you don’t have to locate the hard copy of your insurance card for the officer. BUT, be mindful of unlocking your phone to access your digital insurance card before the officer has determined whether you were cell-phoning and driving!
