State Requirements

Texas also allows drivers to show financial responsibility through methods other than insurance, but traditional liability insurance remains the most practical option for the vast majority of senior drivers.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Drivers with home equity or retirement savings should consider 100/300 or higher to protect assets in a lawsuit, particularly given that Texas juries can award significant damages in injury cases.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage you cause to another vehicle or property.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Texas law requires insurers to offer this coverage, though you can decline it in writing.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

For senior drivers with Medicare, PIP provides immediate payment for accident-related medical expenses and lost wages without waiting for fault determination—Medicare may not cover all accident costs immediately, and PIP fills that gap. Texas PIP can also cover deductibles and co-pays that Medicare doesn't address.

Comprehensive and Collision

Comprehensive covers non-collision damage (hail, theft, wildlife strikes), while collision covers damage from crashes regardless of fault.
