Non-Drivers/Without Driver’s License Coverage

Non-Drivers/Without Driver’s License Coverage is a specialized type of insurance policy designed for individuals who do not possess a valid driver’s license or do not operate a vehicle regularly. This coverage provides liability protection in the event that the insured individual is involved in an accident while operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. It helps cover legal expenses, medical bills, and potential damages or injuries to other parties involved in the accident. This type of coverage is particularly valuable for those who may need to drive occasionally for emergencies or specific situations, despite not having a valid driver’s license. It ensures that they are not left financially vulnerable in case of an unfortunate incident on the road.

Notary Services

Notarization is a fraud deterrent that proves the document is authentic and the parties involved signed it voluntarily. Notary publics undergo special training and may be required to post a bond with the state where they provide services to certify the execution of documents for private citizens.

Our agency provides notary services to the community. If you need documents notarized, please contact us today.

What Is a Notary?

A notary is certified by the state to confirm and witness that the document’s signature was made by the person indicated on the form. The notary goes through a process to verify that the signer understands the document’s contents and that they are voluntarily signing.

When you need the services of a notary public, you must provide government-issued photo identification that includes your signature, such as a driver’s license or state ID, military ID, permanent resident card or passport, or identification provided by your school or work.

The notary may also verify that the information contained in the document is correct.

Who Needs Notary Services?

Certain documents must include a notarized signature before they are considered valid. Many documents subject to potential fraud may require notarization.

You may require the services of a local notary for a variety of reasons, including the following:

• Closing on the purchase of a home or another type of loan
• Creating a will, advanced directive, power of attorney, or trust deed
• Finalizing a divorce or custody agreement

How to Get Documents Notarized

While you may be able to get certain documents or certificates notarized online, many situations require in-person notarization. Each state determines whether specific documents must be notarized to be valid.

Our agency provides a variety of services, including notarization. We can help you get many document types notarized, including the following:

• Lease agreement
• Bill of sale
• Name change
• Quitclaim deed
• Lien release
• Durable power of attorney
• Advanced medical directive
• Living trust documents
• Promissory notes
• Prenuptial agreement
• Adoption papers
• Business contracts
• Protesting a bill for nonpayment
• Oaths, sworn in for testimony

SR-22

SR-22 is a form that your state may require to prove that your auto insurance policy meets the state’s minimum liability coverage requirements. In Virginia and Florida, SR-22 is called FR-44, and some states refer to it as a certificate of financial responsibility.

Who Needs SR-22?

Not every driver needs an SR-22 form on file with their state department. If you must file SR-22, you’ll receive notice from a judge or the licensing agency in your area. You may need to file SR-22 under the following circumstances, depending on your state laws:

• Your license was revoked or suspended, and you’d like to have it reinstated.
• You caused an accident and did not have insurance.
• You have multiple traffic offenses.
• You were found guilty of a serious traffic offense.
• You were convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).

How Long Do You Need to Have an SR-22 Form on File?

Depending on your state’s laws, you may need to file SR-22 for three years. If your insurance policy lapses, the insurance company must notify the state, and you may have your driver’s license suspended.

Even if you don’t own a car, you may have to file SR-22. Talk with your agent to determine whether an auto insurance policy designed to help nonowners comply with SR-22 rules is appropriate for your situation.

Recreational Vehicle Insurance in El Paso, TX

Regardless of how you use your recreational vehicle, insurance is key to keeping your travels worry-free. This policy may cover damage, theft and liability, which helps you avoid unexpected costs. In case of a sudden storm damaging your vehicle, an accident while traveling or a break-in at a campsite, having the right coverage can make all the difference.

Do I Need RV Insurance? 

Texas requires proof of financial responsibility, which most drivers satisfy by purchasing insurance. The requirements for RVs depend on your vehicle type. If your RV is a drivable vehicle like a motorhome, you must carry an auto insurance policy with liability coverage. For non-motorized RVs, such as travel trailers and fifth wheels, your auto insurance may provide liability coverage while towing but typically won’t cover damage to the trailer. It’s recommended to obtain a separate RV insurance policy to avoid potential losses.

What Does RV Insurance Cover?

You can tailor your RV insurance policy to address different needs. Some of the popular coverage options include the following:

• Liability protection may cover property damage or bodily injuries you caused to others.

• Collision coverage may pay for repairs to your RV after an accident.

• Comprehensive coverage may cover noncollision events like theft, fire or severe weather.

• Personal belongings coverage may provide funds to repair or replace items inside the RV, such as electronics or camping gear, if stolen or damaged by a covered event.

• Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may provide financial aid after an accident with an at-fault driver who lacks insurance.

• Medical payments coverage may pay for medical treatments for you and your passengers after an accident, no matter who’s at fault.

Trucking Insurance

Texas law requires all commercial trucks to carry specific insurance coverage. Your organization is likely subject to federal insurance regulations, as well. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets minimum liability coverage limits based in part on the type of cargo being transported.

Your agent may recommend the following core policies:

• Liability coverage may help cover bodily injury and property damage to others if your truck is at fault in an accident, up to the policy’s dollar limits.

• Cargo insurance may help cover the goods you transport against loss or damage during transit.

• Physical damage coverage may help cover repairs or replacement costs for your trucks in case of accidents, vandalism or theft.

• Bobtail insurance may help provide liability coverage when your truck is driven without a trailer.

Selecting the right trucking insurance policy involves careful consideration. The following are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

• Evaluate the size of your fleet, the types of cargo you transport and your business model to determine the coverage that best fits your operation.

Renters Insurance

Renters insurance can provide you with needed financial protection against adverse circumstances, whether it’s covering your personal belongings in case of damage or ensuring you’re protected if someone is injured in your residence. If you need renters insurance, we’re here to help. Contact us today to learn more about your renters insurance options or to get a quote.

What Is Renters Insurance?

Renters insurance provides protection against property loss and liability if you cause injury or property damage. To learn more about what that means, we’ve covered some basics about each.

• Property protection—Renters insurance covers your possessions against damage for things such as fire, smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft and water damage—but not flooding—to name a few. It also extends beyond on-premise theft and hazards, covering property that is stolen from your car or lost or damaged anywhere you happen to be. Talk to your agent today to learn more additional property protection options, such as flood and earthquake insurance and scheduled items riders.
• Liability protection— The liability portion of a renters insurance policy helps protect against claims of third-party bodily injury or property damage caused by you or another person listed as insured on your policy. It may also help pay for medical bills if someone has an injury in your rental. Liability also provides coverage for legal defense costs and judgments in a lawsuit, whether the incident occurred within your rented residence, or elsewhere.

Some renters insurance policies pay a tenant’s temporary living costs if they need to live elsewhere because of a fire, severe storm or other covered disaster. This coverage may include hotel bills, temporary rentals, restaurant meals and other living expenses. Talk with your insurer about whether your renters insurance has this inclusion.
