An SR-22 filing fee in Texas is typically $15–$50, but the underlying high-risk policy costs 50–150% more than a standard policy. Expect total annual premiums of $2,000–$4,500 while the SR-22 is required, usually for two years.
What drives the cost
- The underlying conviction (DWI, no-insurance, license suspension)
- Non-standard carrier rates (Bristol West, Mercury, Acceptance)
- Continuous coverage requirement – any lapse restarts the clock
- Your ZIP code, vehicle, and prior record
Frequently asked questions
