Sources & methodology

Every Texas insurance figure on this site comes from a public, verifiable source — the Texas Department of Insurance, the NAIC and the Insurance Information Institute. Here they all are.

Auto insurance

  • 30/60/25

    Texas state-minimum auto liability limits

    Texas law sets the minimum liability auto coverage a driver must carry to pay for injuries and property damage they cause to others: $30,000 of coverage for injuries per person, up to $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. It does not cover the at-fault driver’s own car or injuries.

  • $1,428.94

    Texas average auto insurance expenditure (2023)

    The NAIC average expenditure estimates what the typical Texas driver paid per insured vehicle for liability, collision and comprehensive coverage combined in 2023. It is a statewide average, not a quote for any individual.

    NAIC — 2023 Auto Insurance Database Average Premium Supplement (Table 4)
  • $1,726.91

    Texas combined average auto premium per insured vehicle (2023)

    The NAIC combined average premium sums the average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums per insured vehicle in Texas for 2023, reflecting full-coverage pricing rather than the minimum-liability cost.

Renters insurance

From the Texas coverage section
  • $171

    Countrywide average renters (HO-4) premium (2022)

    The HO-4 renters policy covers a tenant’s personal belongings and liability rather than the building, which is why the nationwide average premium is far lower than homeowners coverage. This is a U.S. countrywide figure shown for context.

How we source

A note on our methodology

We cite data from the regulator and the recognized statistical and educational bodies for insurance: the Texas Department of Insurance for Texas-specific requirements and statewide market figures, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) for premium and expenditure averages, and the Insurance Information Institute for coverage definitions and consumer education. We do not cite content-marketing or promotional sources. Every figure shown is a statewide or countrywide average for the year noted — general education only, never an estimate, an offer, or a promise of any premium. Statistics are reviewed periodically; if you find anything outdated or believe a citation is incorrect, we want to know — please call us at (469) 357-0900.
