Quick Answer
High-risk auto insurance in Dallas, TX is coverage for drivers who have been declined or significantly overcharged by standard carriers due to DUI/DWI convictions, multiple at-fault accidents, reckless driving citations, license suspensions, SR-22 requirements, lapsed coverage, or no prior insurance history. In Texas, high-risk premiums typically run $95–$250 per month for liability-only coverage (as of 2026), depending on the severity of your record. Drivers who require an SR-22 certificate of financial responsibility must maintain it continuously — usually for 2 years — or risk license re-suspension. A-LA Auto Insurance works with 35+ specialty high-risk carriers across 18 Dallas-Fort Worth locations, offering no credit check options and same-day coverage. SR-22 forms are filed electronically with the Texas DPS the same day you bind your policy. Call (866) 252-6116 or walk in today.

We don't just say DFW — here's where our high-risk clients actually come from.

Car Insurance With a Bad Driving Record in Texas
Yes, you can get car insurance with a bad driving record in Texas. Non-standard carriers write drivers with at-fault accidents, tickets, a DWI, a lapse in coverage or a license suspension, records that standard carriers may decline or surcharge heavily. A-LA is a Texas-licensed agency that compares 35+ carriers for you with no credit check, and liability-only coverage starts from $28/mo for qualifying drivers.
What carriers look at on a Texas record
Carriers rate the convictions on your Texas driving record, such as moving violations and DWI, along with at-fault accidents, license suspensions and any gap in coverage. Each carrier sets its own rules for how much a violation adds and how long it keeps counting. Texas no longer adds state “points” surcharges on top: the Driver Responsibility Program was repealed effective September 1, 2019 (House Bill 2048). Your convictions still appear on your driving record, though, and insurers still use it to set your rate.
How to check your driving record
You can order a copy of your Texas driving record from TxDPS online. Looking at it before you shop shows you what is on file, so you can tell your agent up front and get quotes that match your real record.
Ways to lower the cost
- Defensive driving: an eligible ticket can often be dismissed by completing a court-approved defensive driving course. Ask the court handling your ticket whether it qualifies.
- Liability-only on an older, paid-off car: skipping collision and comprehensive keeps the premium down. Liability-only starts from $28/mo for qualifying drivers.
- No car? Consider a named non-owner policy: it gives you liability coverage when you occasionally borrow a car that isn't furnished for your regular use, and it keeps your coverage history continuous.
- Compare carriers: A-LA shops 35+ carriers for your record, with no credit check.
