To reinstate your license after a suspension for driving without insurance there is a reinstatement fee due prior to the renewal/issuance of a driver’s license. You must also get a proof of insurance (form SR-22) from an insurance company and submit it to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The SR-22 financial responsibility certificate is required for 2 years from date of conviction.

The reinstatement fee I think is around $100 to $125. There will also be a driver responsibility surcharge included. Motorists who receive a conviction for certain offenses that happen on or after September 1, 2003 are required to pay an annual surcharge for 3 years from the date of conviction. If you fail to Maintain Financial Responsibility it comes with a $250 annual surcharge.
