SR-22 Insurance Cost in Bexar County, Texas (2026)

How SR-22 Works in Bexar County

Bexar County (pronounced "bear") is Texas's fourth-largest county — over 2.0 million residents centered on San Antonio. Bexar County Courthouse at 100 Dolorosa and San Antonio Municipal Court regularly order SR-22 as a condition of probation or license reinstatement. The actual SR-22 filing is an electronic certificate transmitted by your insurance carrier directly to TxDPS in Austin — not paperwork you file yourself with the Bexar County courts.

The most common SR-22 triggers in Bexar County are first-offense DWI on I-10, I-35, I-37, I-410 (Loop 410), or Loop 1604; a second or later no-insurance conviction (Tex. Transp. Code §601.231 — a first ticket usually does not require SR-22); license suspensions where TxDPS makes SR-22 a reinstatement condition (failure-to-appear and unpaid-ticket OmniBase holds block license renewal but do not by themselves require SR-22); at-fault accidents where the driver was uninsured. The TxDPS San Antonio Southeast Driver License Office — 6502 S New Braunfels Ave, San Antonio, TX 78223 handles in-person Texas license services once your SR-22 has been transmitted electronically by your insurer.

SR-22 is not a separate insurance product — it is a Certificate of Financial Responsibility your carrier files on your behalf, certifying you carry at least the Texas minimum liability of 30/60/25 (in effect since 2011): $30,000 per person bodily injury, $60,000 per accident bodily injury, $25,000 property damage. The carrier maintains the certificate on file with TxDPS for the entire 2-year requirement, which runs from the date of conviction. Any lapse triggers an SR-26 cancellation notice to TxDPS, and TxDPS then re-suspends your Texas privileges until you refile — the 2-year end date stays anchored to the conviction date.
