As with most states, all drivers are required to carry a minimum level of insurance that meets the Texas state minimum requirement.&nbsp;Plano, TX residents can entrust their insurance needs to&nbsp;Paragon&nbsp;Independent&nbsp;Insurance Agency. Our agents understand what&#8217;s required to drive in Texas. Liability insurance provides protection for all Texans who navigate the roads and freeways of Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texas State Minimums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All Texas drivers are required to carry liability insurance. They must carry $30K in bodily injury insurance per person and $60K in bodily injury coverage per accident. Texas drivers are also required $25K in property damage coverage per accident. All Texas drivers are required to maintain liability insurance that meets at least these minimums. This liability insurance is also called&nbsp;&nbsp;30\/60\/25 coverage. However, drivers can carry liability insurance at higher levels if they choose. One of our agents can help you to determine the best coverage levels for your specific situation. However, the above-listed minimum requirements must be met by all drivers. However, we encourage Texas drivers to ask questions if they are unclear about any of the insurance requirements that must be met to drive in Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Texas drivers can also choose to carry uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage. However, it&#8217;s not required. Texas motorists can also carry collision&nbsp;and\/or comprehensive coverage as well. Our team at&nbsp;Paragon&nbsp;Independent&nbsp;Insurance Agency can answer any questions that our&nbsp;Plano, TX customers have about what&#8217;s required to legally drive in Texas.
