Vehicle Insurance Plano Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
My sister received a ticket for driving without having proof of insurance in Plano Texas. She is licensed in the Virginia though. If she shows that she did have insurance does she have to still pay the fine?

It is likely that if she can show proof of insurance to the Texas court then the ticket will be dismissed. She will need to contact the court listed on her ticket to know specifics of how to go about doing this but below is an example from Plano, TX on how their traffic court says one can get a failure to provide proof of insurance ticket dismissed.
The Plano, Texas Municipal Court site states that if a motorist is issued a ticket for failure to provide financial responsibility (Insurance) and he or she was in fact at the time the citation was issued, covered by an insurance policy, the motorist (defendant in court) may present proof of financial responsibility to have the ticket dismissed. The proof of insurance must indicate the following six information:
- The name, address, and telephone number of the insurer;
- The insurance policy number;
- The name and address of each insured;
- The policy period (the effective and expiration date);
- The policy limits or a statement that coverage complies with the minimum amounts of liability insurance required; and
- The make and model of each covered vehicle.
