Texas Motorcycle Rules and Requirements

• Minimum liability limits: 30/60/25
• Coverage up to $60,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $30,000 for one individual, and $25,000 coverage for property damage
• Dallas has a program to impound uninsured vehicles
• Some riders are exempt from helmet laws
• Texas motorcycle license
• Texas motor vehicle registration (for street bikes)
• Texas off highway vehicle registration (for off-road bikes)

Off-road bikes that are never taken on public roads are different than street bikes. The Texas Off-Highway Vehicle Program (OHV) regulates public trails for recreational use. If you never take your sport bike or dirt bike on public roads and highways, licensing and coverage requirements will be different.

Many riders are exempt from helmet regulations in the state. General requirements are proof of health insurance, being 21 or older, and having completed the approved motorcycle safety class.

Dallas Motorcycle Insurance Types

• Property liability Insurance: This covers the cost to replace someone else's property if you cause an accident that damages it.
• Bodily injury liability insurance: This compensates another person for bodily injury related expenses from an accident you cause
• Collision: If you are in an accident, this insurance will help pay for damages to your bike, regardless of fault.
• Medical payments: This can help cover medical bills from an accident.
• Comprehensive: This covers "other-than-collison" related damages to your bike. Examples could include storms, theft, or vandalism.
• Uninsured/Underinsured motorists: This covers you in case you are damaged by an uninsured or hit-and-run motorist.
