Dallas business vehicle owners have to comply with the same financial responsibility laws that force most Texans to purchase required minimum liability insurance. Failure to comply with these rules does not relieve you of responsibility for damages.
In addition, the state can levy fines and other penalties. You cannot renew your registration, license or safety inspection sticker without proof of insurance.
Dallas is one city with an additional towing enforcement program. If uninsured motorists get stopped for a traffic infraction the police can impound the vehicle. The driver must pay towing fees and fines, plus show proof of insurance, in order to get the vehicle back.
