What is an SR-26?
An SR-26 is a form your insurer files with Texas DPS to cancel or end an SR-22 filing. If your SR-22 is still required and your policy lapses or is cancelled without a new SR-22 on file, Texas DPS can suspend your license again.
What to expect
-
An SR-26 tells Texas DPS your SR-22 filing has ended — either because your coverage lapsed, or because your required period is over
-
If your SR-22 is still required, an SR-26 with no new SR-22 on file can trigger another suspension
-
If your required period (2 years in Texas) has already ended, an SR-26 simply closes out the monitoring — no action needed
Why Alinsco might file an SR-26
-
Your policy was cancelled or didn't renew
-
Your SR-22 requirement period ended
-
You switched insurers, and your new insurer filed a new SR-22 to replace ours
What to do if you get an SR-26
-
Contact your insurer right away to find out why it was filed
-
If your SR-22 requirement is still active, get a new SR-22 filed before your license is suspended again
-
If your required period has ended, confirm with Texas DPS that you no longer need an SR-22
This explains how an SR-26 generally works in Texas. Ask Texas DPS or your Alinsco agent about the rules that apply to your situation.
