Texas Requirements (What You Must Know)

No PIP on Motorcycles
Texas does not require PIP for motorcycles. Add Medical Payments (MedPay) to help with medical expenses regardless of fault.
Helmet & Eye Protection
TX has a partial helmet law: riders under 21 or those 21+ without $10,000 in medical insurance must wear helmets. Use approved helmets and eye protection for safety.
Inspection & Lane Splitting
Annual safety inspections are required in most TX counties. Lane splitting is not permitted-ride safely within your lane.
This is a summary. Your policy controls. We’ll review carrier forms and endorsements with you before binding.
