In Texas, it is a legal requirement to have liability insurance coverage to operate a motor vehicle on public roads. As such, if you want to buy a used car from a dealer in Texas, you will need to provide proof of liability insurance before you can take possession of the vehicle. When you purchase a used car from a dealer in Texas, the dealer is required to submit the necessary paperwork to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to transfer ownership of the vehicle. As part of this process, you will need to provide proof of liability insurance to the dealer. The minimum liability insurance requirements in Texas are:
- $30,000 for bodily injury or death per person
- $60,000 for bodily injury or death per accident
- $25,000 for property damage per accident
