SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility filed by an insurance company with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to prove that a driver maintains at least the state's minimum liability coverage. SR-22 is not a type of insurance — it is a document attached to an auto insurance policy. Texas courts and the Texas DPS require SR-22 filings after DUI/DWI convictions, driving without insurance, multiple traffic violations, at-fault accidents without coverage, or license suspension or revocation. ### How long is SR-22 required in Texas? Under Texas Transportation Code §601.072, Texas typically requires SR-22 filing for 2 years from the date of license reinstatement. DUI/DWI convictions may require up to 3 years. The clock runs from the reinstatement date, not the conviction date. Any lapse in coverage — even a single day — triggers the insurance company to file an SR-26 notice with the Texas DPS, which can reset the full requirement period to zero. ### How much does SR-22 insurance cost in Texas? SR-22 insurance has two cost components. The SR-22 filing fee is typically $15–$50 and is a one-time administrative charge. The underlying policy premium is the larger cost: high-risk drivers typically pay 30–200% more than standard rates depending on violation type, age, vehicle, and driving history. At A-LA Auto Insurance, SR-22 liability-only policies start at $28/month (typical customer range $85–$145/month depending on violation). Non-owner SR-22 policies also start at $28/month (typical customer range $28–$90/month). Rates vary significantly across the 35+ carriers A-LA represents — comparison shopping almost always yields a lower rate than applying directly to one carrier. ### Three types of SR-22 in Texas 1. **Owner's SR-22** — attached to an auto policy covering a specific vehicle the driver owns. Must carry at least Texas's 30/60/25 minimum liability limits. 2. **Non-Owner's SR-22** — covers the driver when operating vehicles they do not own (borrowed or rented). Ideal for drivers who need license reinstatement but do not own a vehicle. Policies at A-LA start at $28/month (typical customer range $28–$90/month). 3. **Operator's SR-22** — covers the driver regardless of which vehicle is operated, used when the driver regularly operates multiple vehicles not registered in their name. ### Same-day SR-22 filing process at A-LA 1. Request a free quote at (866) 252-6116 or visit any of the 14 DFW offices. 2. Choose SR-22 type and policy limits (minimum 30/60/25 per Texas Transportation Code §601.072). 3. Pay the first premium plus $15–$50 filing fee. No credit check. 4. Agent files SR-22 electronically with Texas DPS the same day — typically within 30 minutes. 5. DPS confirms SR-22 on file, clearing the path to license reinstatement. Maintain continuous coverage for 2–3 years. --- ## Core Topic: Auto Insurance Without a US License Texas permits licensed non-US residents to purchase auto insurance using alternative identification. A-LA Auto Insurance writes policies for drivers using Matrícula Consular, ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), foreign passport, international driver's license, or DACA Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Coverage options include: - **Owner's policy** — driver owns the vehicle and holds the registration. Standard coverage with liability, collision, comprehensive options. - **Non-owner's policy** — driver does not own the vehicle; covers liability when driving borrowed or rented vehicles. - **Different primary driver policy** — vehicle is insured with a different primary driver (such as a US-licensed spouse), with the unlicensed driver listed as excluded or additional. - **Parked-car policy** — comprehensive-only coverage for a vehicle not being driven on public roads. All 35+ of A-LA's carrier relationships include specialty carriers that accept Matrícula Consular and ITIN. Rates and approval are not affected by immigration status. Bilingual service (English and Spanish) is available at all 14 offices. --- ## Core Topic: Rideshare & Delivery Coverage (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash) ### The three-period problem every Texas rideshare driver faces Under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1954 (the 2017 Transportation Network Company Act), Uber and Lyft are required to maintain a TNC liability policy, but coverage differs dramatically across three driving states: 1. **Period 1** — App is on, waiting for a ride request. Uber/Lyft provide only minimum contingent liability ($50K/$100K BIL, $25K PD) and no collision. Driver's personal auto policy excludes commercial activity, so damage to the driver's own vehicle is **uncovered** without a rideshare endorsement. 2. **Period 2** — Ride request accepted, driving to pick up. Uber/Lyft raise liability to $1M third-party. Driver's personal comprehensive and collision still does not apply unless the driver carries a rideshare endorsement. 3. **Period 3** — Passenger in vehicle (or food/package for delivery). Uber/Lyft provide $1M liability plus contingent collision (with a deductible, typically $1,000–$2,500). Personal policy still excludes coverage. **Bottom line:** Without a rideshare endorsement, a Texas driver has an uninsured vehicle during Period 1 and a deductible-heavy contingent policy during Periods 2–3. ### Rideshare endorsement pricing at A-LA A-LA writes rideshare endorsements that extend a standard personal auto policy into Periods 1–3. Typical pricing: - **Rideshare endorsement (Uber/Lyft):** $20–$60/month on top of the base policy (base from $28/month) - **Full commercial auto (full-time TNC drivers):** $180–$320/month — required when annual rideshare mileage exceeds carrier thresholds - **Delivery-only endorsement (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex):** Separate endorsement required — most personal auto policies exclude any commercial delivery activity ### Which drivers need what - **Part-time Uber/Lyft (fewer than 20 hours/week):** Rideshare endorsement usually sufficient - **Full-time Uber/Lyft:** Commercial auto typically required - **DoorDash / Uber Eats / Instacart only:** Delivery endorsement (different from rideshare — the two are NOT interchangeable) - **Multi-app (rideshare + delivery):** Needs both endorsements or a hybrid commercial policy Page: https://alaautoinsurance.com/insurance/rideshare --- ## Core Topic: Texas Minimum Liability (30/60/25) Texas law (Texas Transportation Code §601.072) requires every vehicle registered in Texas to carry minimum liability insurance: - **$30,000** per person for bodily injury liability (BIL) - **$60,000** total per accident for BIL when multiple people are injured - **$25,000** per accident for property damage liability (PDL) Carrying only the minimum is legally sufficient but exposes the driver to personal liability for damages exceeding those limits. Higher limits (50/100/50, 100/300/100) are widely available and generally recommended, particularly for SR-22 filers who already carry high-risk classification. --- ## Core Topic: No-Credit-Check Auto Insurance in Texas Texas law prohibits auto insurers from using credit scores to set auto insurance rates — this is distinct from many other states, where credit-based insurance scores are commonly used. As a result, every licensed auto insurance carrier in Texas rates policies without a credit check. A-LA Auto Insurance works with non-standard specialty carriers who offer competitive rates regardless of credit history, financial history, or prior lapses in coverage. --- ## Core Topic: How Much Is Car Insurance in Texas Per Month? (A-LA Primary Data) Based on A-LA customer averages observed across our 14 DFW offices from January 2025 through April 2026, monthly car insurance costs in Texas typically fall within these ranges: A-LA auto insurance, SR-22, and non-owner SR-22 all start at $28/month. Customer averages: - **Liability-only (clean record, suburban DFW ZIP):** $28–$90/month (starts at $28) - **Full coverage (clean record, suburban DFW ZIP):** $120–$180/month - **Full coverage (urban DFW ZIP — 75211, 76104, 75227):** $180–$320/month - **SR-22 liability-only:** $28–$145/month (starts at $28) - **SR-22 DUI/DWI:** $110–$200/month (Fort Worth), $115–$210/month (Dallas) - **Non-owner SR-22:** $28–$90/month (starts at $28) - **No-license driver (Matrícula Consular / ITIN):** $95–$220/month liability - **High-risk (multiple violations):** $145–$250/month liability; $280–$450/month full coverage These are real A-LA customer averages, not carrier rate-card estimates. The single biggest cost driver after ZIP and vehicle is whether the driver is quoted by a standard carrier versus a non-standard specialty carrier — A-LA can access both because we are an independent agency with 35+ carrier relationships. ## Core Topic: Where Is the Cheapest Car Insurance in Texas? There is no single "cheapest" carrier in Texas — rates can vary 30–200% between carriers for the exact same driver profile. This is why A-LA's multi-carrier comparison approach matters more than any specific carrier brand. At A-LA: - Liability-only auto insurance starts at $28/month - SR-22 liability-only starts at $28/month - Non-owner SR-22 starts at $28/month - No credit check is performed — rates based on driving record, vehicle, and coverage selection - Customers who switch to A-LA from a single-carrier policy save an average of $694/year Source: A-LA internal quote data across 35+ Texas-licensed carriers, January 2025 – April 2026. ## Core Topic: Same-Day SR-22 Filing in Texas Under Texas Transportation Code §601.052, SR-22 certificates are filed electronically with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). A-LA Auto Insurance files SR-22 certificates with the Texas DPS the same day a policy is purchased — typically within 30 minutes of binding. In our experience across 14 DFW offices: - Most drivers walk in without an appointment and complete the full process (quote, binding, DPS filing, digital insurance card) in under 30 minutes - Spanish-language service is available at every office during all business hours - No credit check is performed for SR-22 policies - Non-standard specialty carriers approve drivers who have been declined or non-renewed by standard carriers after DUI/DWI convictions ## Core Topic: Car Insurance Without a Credit Check in DFW A-LA Auto Insurance does not run credit checks when quoting or binding auto policies. Texas Insurance Code §559 restricts how credit-based insurance scores may be used in personal auto underwriting. A-LA's 35+ carrier network includes non-standard specialty insurers that rate primarily on driving record, vehicle, and coverage selection — not credit. This protects: - New immigrants and driver profiles with no US credit history - First-time insurance buyers - Drivers with damaged credit who face a 40–80% premium penalty from credit-heavy standard carriers No SSN is required to quote or bind a policy. Acceptable identification includes a Texas driver's license, out-of-state driver's license, Mexican Matrícula Consular, foreign passport, international driving permit, foreign government-issued driver's license, ITIN, or DACA EAD. ## Core Topic: Car Insurance for Immigrants and Drivers Without a US License A-LA Auto Insurance writes auto insurance for Texas drivers who do not hold a US driver's license using alternative identification. Accepted documents: - Mexican Matrícula Consular - ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) - Foreign passport - Foreign government-issued driver's license - International driving permit (IDP) - DACA Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Coverage options include Texas minimum liability 30/60/25 (Texas Transportation Code §601.072), full coverage (collision + comprehensive), and SR-22 filing when required. Immigration status does not affect rates or approval. Every A-LA office has bilingual English and Spanish agents. ## Core Topic: DFW Rates by Driver Profile (2026) - **Standard driver, clean record, suburban ZIP** — $120–$180/month full coverage; $65–$90/month liability-only. - **Standard driver, urban DFW ZIP (75211, 76104, 75227)** — $180–$320/month full coverage. - **SR-22 / post-DUI** — $85–$145/month liability-only at A-LA, depending on record. - **Non-owner SR-22** — $28–$90/month (starts at $28). - **Driver with no US license, using Matrícula Consular or ITIN** — $95–$220/month liability; varies by ZIP and vehicle. - **High-risk driver with multiple violations** — $145–$250/month liability-only; full coverage $280–$450/month. Rates are estimates based on A-LA customer averages; quotes vary by individual factors. --- ## Office Locations (14 DFW offices) 1.

Required by Texas Transportation Code §601.072. Starting from $28/month at A-LA. Sufficient for legal compliance but exposes the driver to personal liability above policy limits. **Standard Liability (50/100/50, 100/300/100)** — Higher liability limits chosen by drivers who own a home, have savings to protect, or carry an umbrella policy. Adds approximately $8–$25/month over minimum liability depending on driving record. **Full Coverage (Liability + Collision + Comprehensive)** — Adds collision (covers your vehicle in an at-fault accident) and comprehensive (covers theft, hail, fire, vandalism, glass, animal strikes). Required by all lenders financing a vehicle. Average DFW full-coverage policy through A-LA: $135–$245/month for a clean record, $185–$320/month with one violation. **Add-Ons** — Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM), Personal Injury Protection (PIP $2,500 standard in Texas), Medical Payments (MedPay), Towing & Labor, Rental Reimbursement, OEM Parts coverage, Gap Insurance. ### Accepted Identification Documents A-LA writes auto insurance for drivers who present any of the following IDs (not all carriers accept every ID; A-LA matches the customer to a carrier that does): - US driver's license (any state) - Matrícula Consular (Mexican Consular ID) - ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) - Foreign passport (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, others) - US Visa (B1/B2, F1, H1B, others) - US Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) - DACA Employment Authorization Document - Foreign driver's license + International Driving Permit Customers without a US Social Security Number can still obtain a policy. Customers with a suspended Texas license can purchase a non-owner SR-22 policy to satisfy reinstatement requirements before getting a vehicle. ### Payment Plans Available A-LA offers flexible payment options to accommodate the cash-flow realities of non-standard customers: - **Pay in Full (annual)** — typically 8–12% discount - **6-month policy paid in full** — 4–6% discount - **Monthly EFT (auto-draft from bank or debit card)** — no down payment promo available with select carriers - **Monthly card** — most common; $25–$45 monthly billing fee depending on carrier - **Bi-weekly** — available on select carriers; aligns with paychecks - **Cash payments at any of the 14 offices** — customers can walk in and pay any office, regardless of which office wrote the policy A-LA does NOT charge a separate agency fee; all customer-facing fees are carrier-imposed. ### Claims Process A-LA is an independent agency, not a carrier. Claims are filed and adjudicated by the underlying carrier. A-LA's role at claim time: 1. Customer reports the incident to A-LA (any office, any phone line, or after-hours form). 2. A-LA agent files the First Notice of Loss (FNOL) with the carrier within the same business day. 3. Carrier assigns an adjuster within 24–48 hours; A-LA coordinates document collection between customer and adjuster. 4. For total losses, A-LA helps the customer secure a rental (if covered) and walks them through the salvage / replacement process. 5. For SR-22 customers, any claim that triggers a coverage lapse is reported to TxDPS by the carrier; A-LA notifies the customer immediately so they can avoid a re-suspension. A-LA does not advocate for or against carrier claim decisions but does provide guidance on the claims appeal process when a customer believes a denial was issued in error (see /blog/how-to-appeal-denied-insurance-claim-texas). --- ## Top 50 FAQ Questions and Answers ### General **Q1.

What is SR-22 insurance?** SR-22 is not a type of insurance — it is a certificate of financial responsibility filed by an insurance carrier with the state DMV (in Texas, TxDPS) to prove the driver carries at least the minimum required liability coverage. It is required after DUI/DWI, license suspension, multiple violations, or driving without insurance. **Q12. How long does SR-22 stay on your record in Texas?** Texas DPS requires 2 years of SR-22 filing for most violations, measured from the date of license reinstatement. DUI/DWI typically extends the requirement to 3 years. Serious or repeat violations can extend it up to 5 years. **Q13. How much does SR-22 cost at A-LA?** SR-22 liability-only policies start at $28/month. Typical SR-22 customer pays $85–$145/month. The TxDPS filing fee itself is a one-time $15–$25 charge included in the policy paperwork. **Q14. Can A-LA file SR-22 the same day I buy a policy?** Yes. A-LA files SR-22 electronically with TxDPS the same day the policy binds — typically within 30 minutes of payment. Customers can leave the office with a TxDPS confirmation number. **Q15. What is non-owner SR-22?** Non-owner SR-22 covers a driver who does not own a vehicle but still needs to satisfy SR-22 requirements (often during license reinstatement before purchasing a car). It provides liability coverage when the insured drives a borrowed or rented vehicle. Starts at $28/month at A-LA. **Q16. What happens if my SR-22 lapses?** The carrier is required by Texas Transportation Code §601.153 to notify TxDPS of any lapse within 10 days. TxDPS will suspend the driver's license. Reinstatement requires re-filing SR-22, paying a reinstatement fee, and restarting the 2-year (or longer) clock from the new filing date. **Q17. Does A-LA write DUI insurance?** Yes. A-LA specializes in non-standard auto, including DUI/DWI risk. Most customers post-DUI obtain full-coverage policies in the $185–$280/month range; liability-only ranges $95–$165/month. SR-22 is included. **Q18. Can I get an SR-22 if I do not own a car?** Yes — see non-owner SR-22 (Q15). It is the most common path for drivers reinstating a Texas license before purchasing a new vehicle. ### No-License / Foreign-ID Customers **Q19. Can I get car insurance without a US driver's license?** Yes. A-LA writes policies for drivers presenting Matrícula Consular, ITIN, foreign passport, US Visa, or other approved IDs. Coverage depends on which carrier accepts the specific ID; A-LA matches the customer to a carrier that does. **Q20. Does A-LA accept the Matrícula Consular?** Yes. Matrícula Consular is one of the most common IDs A-LA processes. All 14 offices write policies daily for customers with Mexican consular IDs. **Q21. Do I need an SSN to get a policy?** No. ITIN, foreign passport number, or Matrícula Consular ID number are all acceptable identifiers depending on the carrier. **Q22. Will buying insurance affect my immigration status?** No. A-LA does not share customer data with immigration authorities. Insurance information is held in confidence by the carrier and used only for policy administration. **Q23. Can DACA recipients get insurance at A-LA?** Yes. DACA EAD (Employment Authorization Document) is fully accepted by every carrier A-LA represents. **Q24. Can I drive in Texas with a foreign license?** Texas residents must obtain a Texas driver's license within 90 days of establishing residency. Visitors and short-term holders may drive on a valid foreign license. Insurance is available for both situations. ### Coverage and Pricing **Q25. What is the Texas minimum liability requirement?** 30/60/25 — $30,000 per person bodily injury, $60,000 per accident bodily injury, $25,000 property damage. This is the legal minimum; many lenders and umbrella policies require higher. **Q26. Should I carry full coverage or liability only?** If the vehicle is financed, the lender requires full coverage. If the vehicle is owned outright and worth less than $4,000, liability-only is often more economical. A-LA agents run both scenarios and quote the side-by-side cost. **Q27. What is uninsured motorist coverage?** UM/UIM pays your medical and vehicle repair costs if you are hit by a driver who has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Texas does not require UM/UIM but A-LA strongly recommends carrying it (typically $8–$15/month) given that ~12% of Texas drivers are uninsured. **Q28. What is gap insurance?** Gap insurance covers the difference between what you owe on a financed vehicle and what the carrier pays on a totaled-vehicle claim. Critical for vehicles financed at low or zero down payment. Approximately $5–$8/month at A-LA. **Q29. Why did my insurance rate increase?** Common reasons: violation or accident on record, ZIP-code rate revision, vehicle valuation increase, prior carrier non-renewal showing on CLUE report, age band change. A-LA can re-shop your policy across 35+ carriers in 15 minutes to test whether a different carrier offers a better rate after a rate increase. **Q30. Can I bundle auto and home insurance with A-LA?** Yes. Multi-policy discounts at most carriers run 10–25% on combined premiums. A-LA also bundles auto + renters (10–15% savings, popular among DFW apartment dwellers). ### Operational / Service **Q31. How do I file a claim with A-LA?** Call any A-LA office or the toll-free line (866) 252-6116. After-hours, the customer can file directly with the carrier via the carrier's claim line — but it is faster to call A-LA so the agent can coordinate. A-LA submits the FNOL within the same business day. **Q32. Can I cancel my policy at any time?** Yes. Most policies can be cancelled at any time; the carrier issues a pro-rated refund (less any short-rate fee specified in the policy). For SR-22 policies, cancellation triggers a TxDPS lapse notice — confirm replacement coverage is in place before cancelling. **Q33. Will A-LA send my SR-22 filing confirmation to TxDPS?** Yes. Every SR-22 is filed electronically with TxDPS the day the policy binds. The customer receives a TxDPS confirmation reference number for their records. **Q34. How fast can I get proof of insurance?** Immediately after binding. A-LA prints and emails the insurance ID card the same day. Most customers can show proof of insurance within 10 minutes of starting the quote. **Q35. What happens if my premium payment is late?** Most carriers offer a 7–10 day grace period; some shorter. A late payment that crosses the cancellation date triggers cancellation, loss of any prior-policy discount, and a TxDPS SR-22 lapse notice for SR-22 customers. A-LA emails reminders before the cancellation date. **Q36. Can my teenager be added to my policy?** Yes. Adding a teen driver typically increases the policy 35–80% depending on the teen's age, the school's good-student discount, and the vehicle they drive. A-LA discounts available: good-student, driver-education, distant-student. **Q37. Does A-LA write policies for delivery / rideshare drivers?** Yes. Standard personal auto policies exclude commercial use. A-LA writes rideshare endorsements (for Uber/Lyft) and commercial policies (for delivery work like DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex). Pricing depends on hours per week and vehicle. **Q38. Can A-LA insure a salvage-title or rebuilt vehicle?** Yes — through specific non-standard carriers. Liability-only is straightforward; full coverage on a rebuilt-title vehicle requires inspection documentation and is offered by a smaller subset of carriers. **Q39. What if my vehicle is older than 10 years?** Older vehicles are insurable at A-LA. Most customers with a vehicle over 10 years old or worth under $4,000 choose liability-only — full coverage premium often exceeds the actual cash value of the car within 1–2 years. **Q40. Does A-LA insure motorcycles?** Yes. Motorcycle policies start at $25/month for liability and $55/month for full coverage. See https://alaautoinsurance.com/insurance/motorcycle. ### Specialty / Edge Cases **Q41. Can I get insurance after being dropped by another carrier?** Yes. Non-renewal or cancellation by a prior carrier is one of the most common reasons drivers come to A-LA. The agency specializes in the non-standard market and can place difficult-to-write risk with carriers that other agencies cannot access. **Q42. Does A-LA write policies for drivers with multiple DUIs?** Yes. Repeat DUI is non-standard but insurable. Premium is significantly higher (commonly $250–$420/month for full coverage) and SR-22 is required for an extended period. **Q43. Can I insure a vehicle I am financing through Buy Here Pay Here?** Yes. BHPH lenders typically require full coverage with the lender named as loss payee. A-LA writes full-coverage policies and adds the BHPH lender to the policy paperwork the same day. **Q44. Will my insurance cover me if I drive into Mexico?** US auto policies do not provide liability coverage in Mexico. A-LA writes Mexico tourist auto insurance (daily and weekly policies) at https://alaautoinsurance.com/insurance/mexico. **Q45. Does A-LA offer roadside assistance?** Yes. Roadside assistance can be added to most auto policies for $4–$8/month, or purchased standalone at https://alaautoinsurance.com/roadside-assistance. **Q46. Does A-LA work with a referral or affiliate program?** A-LA accepts customer referrals and pays standard referral credits. Contact any office for details. **Q47. Does A-LA offer commercial insurance?** Yes — commercial auto, general liability, surety bonds. Commercial auto is quoted by phone. See https://alaautoinsurance.com/insurance/surety-bonds for surety. **Q48. Can I get insurance with no prior insurance history?** Yes. "No prior insurance" is a non-standard rating factor but does not disqualify a driver. Most no-prior customers pay $115–$185/month for liability-only on a clean driving record. **Q49. Does A-LA offer pay-as-you-drive insurance?** A-LA offers usage-based programs through select carriers. These plans can save 10–30% for low-mileage drivers (under 7,500 miles/year). Ask any agent for current carriers. **Q50. What does A-LA charge for a quote?** Quotes are always free. There is no obligation to bind. A-LA does not charge an agency fee; the only fees on a policy are imposed by the carrier. --- ## Office Locations (Detailed Reference) A-LA operates 14 DFW offices, all reflected in the agency's structured location data (lib/offices.ts).

These are the customer-floor rates for the cheapest qualifying customer; most customers will pay above these floors based on their underwriting profile. - **Liability-only auto insurance**: from $28/month - **Full-coverage auto insurance**: from $89/month - **SR-22 liability**: from $28/month (typical $85–$145/month) - **Non-owner SR-22**: from $28/month - **Motorcycle (liability)**: from $25/month - **Renters insurance**: from $12/month - **Homeowners insurance (HO-3)**: from $115/month (varies heavily by ZIP and home value) - **Mexico tourist auto (1-day)**: from $11/day - **Mexico tourist auto (annual)**: from $185/year - **Roadside assistance (standalone)**: from $4/month - **Surety bonds**: from $50/year (varies widely by bond type) A-LA never advertises a floor below $28/month for auto liability or SR-22. ### Underwriting Factors That Affect Premium A-LA's pricing comparison runs the customer's profile through 35+ carriers simultaneously. Carriers weight the following factors differently, which is why the lowest-priced carrier varies customer-by-customer: - **ZIP code** — Theft rates, weather risk (hail), uninsured-driver density - **Driving record** — Violations in the past 36 months, at-fault accidents, prior DUI/DWI - **Vehicle** — Make, model, year, body style, safety rating, theft index - **Annual mileage** — Commute distance, business use vs. pleasure - **Coverage selection** — Liability limits, deductibles, optional add-ons - **Prior insurance history** — Continuous coverage vs. lapses, prior carrier rating - **Age and tenure** — Years licensed, age band (drivers under 25 and over 70 are higher-risk bands) - **Marital status** — Some carriers rate married drivers slightly lower - **Homeowner status** — Multi-policy bundling discount eligibility - **Defensive driving completion** — TDLR-approved courses unlock 10% discount with most carriers ### What A-LA Does NOT Use in Pricing To remain accessible to non-standard customers, A-LA matches every customer to at least one carrier that does NOT use the following factors: - **Credit score** — A-LA writes "no credit check" policies via specific non-standard carriers. See https://alaautoinsurance.com/blog/car-insurance-bad-credit-texas. - **Social Security Number** — Customers presenting Matrícula Consular or ITIN are matched to carriers that do not require SSN. - **Prior insurance history** — Customers with no prior insurance can still bind same-day at non-standard carriers. --- ## Content Hub Index A-LA's content hub is structured into the following information architectures, each with English and Spanish parity where applicable: ### Service Pages (English) - /insurance/auto — Auto insurance overview - /insurance/sr22 — SR-22 services - /insurance/dui — DUI/high-risk - /insurance/no-license — No-license / Matrícula Consular - /insurance/motorcycle — Motorcycle - /insurance/home — Home insurance - /insurance/renters — Renters - /insurance/mexico — Mexico tourist - /insurance/surety-bonds — Surety - /insurance/rideshare — Rideshare/delivery ### Service Pages (Spanish) - /seguro-de-auto — Seguro de auto - /es/seguro-sr22 — SR-22 - /es/seguro-de-motocicleta — Motocicleta - /es/seguro-de-casa — Casa - /es/seguro-de-inquilinos — Inquilinos - /es/seguro-de-viaje-mexico — México - /es/fianzas — Fianzas - /es/seguro-dui-texas — DUI ### City / Geographic Pages (DFW) Office-level: Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving, Lewisville, Carrollton, Dallas, Duncanville, Grand Prairie.
