Good Question,

When you operate a vehicle in Texas and you are licensed and a resident from a different state you still are required to follow to the laws of the state in which you are driving in.

So if you got convicted of traffic violation while out of your home state you are subject to the penalties to that state where you violated the law. So if you broke a law in Texas which according to their laws requires you now to carry an SR-22 vehicle insurance then even though you reside from a different state you need to comply with their insurance law and maintain this since when you drive your automobile in their state you subjected yourself to their laws.

Some states may not require you to get and file an SR-22 vehicle insurance form but most states does require an SR22 vehicle insurance even if you do not live in that state. Keep in mind that that as you drive throughout the United States you are subject to the laws of the different states which you drive in.

Alex, 

The amount your premiums will increase is unknown, it is likely they could double. Further, if you have enjoyed a “preferred driver” status with low premiums, a DUI conviction could nearly triple your premiums in some states.

 There are no laws in effect that regulate the premiums that you are charged. What this means is that each company is free to charge whatever prices they want in order to issue you one of these high risk SR22 insurance policies. Knowing this, the best thing you can do is to comparison shop and get quoted on as many policies as you possibly can before deciding on a particular insurance company.

Thank You for the great question.
