TexasSure

TexasSure is designed to reduce the number of uninsured drivers and cut costs for responsible Texans, who now pay almost $900 million a year to protect themselves against those with no coverage. Currently, 15-20 percent of Texas drivers are uninsured.

The automated database, a joint project of Texas' departments of motor vehicles, insurance, public safety and information resources, will quickly identify vehicle owners without mandatory insurance coverage.

More information about insurance verification (Financial Responsibility Verification Program) is available from the Texas Department of Insurance.

Steps to Take if you Receive a Notice

You may have received a notice that your policy does not match a vehicle record in TxDMV's database. If you received a notice, it is most likely that your vehicle identification number (VIN) is incorrect on either your insurance policy or vehicle title. Help us resolve this error by completing the following steps:

• Compare the VIN on your insurance policy to the one physically located on your vehicle (usually on the driver's side dashboard).
• Complete the appropriate action:
  • If your insurance policy shows the wrong VIN, contact your insurance agent to correct the problem.
  • If your insurance policy shows the correct VIN, then the VIN or your address may be wrong in our database. Check for discrepancies on your title, if you have it, and notify us immediately. You or your lienholder will have to mail us the title for correction. Complete a Statement of Physical Inspection (Form VTR-270) and mail it to us (our address is on the form), along with your original title and a copy of the insurance company notice you received. We will correct title VIN errors for free, but you must apply within 30 days from the date on your insurance company's notice. After the 30-day waiver period, you will need to contact your local county tax office to correct your title and pay the applicable processing fee ($28 or $33).
• If you are unable to compare the VIN on your policy to the one physically located on your vehicle (because it was sold, is out of state, etc.), or if your vehicle is not in use, complete a Statement of Vehicle Use, and mail it to your insurance company.
• Have you moved? Are you unsure whether the state has your correct address? If you're not sure, please submit change your address online, by mail or at your county tax office.
