A Texas insurance organizations says a large number of drivers on Texas highways and roads don't have auto insurance.
A 60-day pilot project testing the new TexasSure program, which allows law enforcement personnel via computer to verify coverage status when they stop a motorist, focused on Travis County. During the test which is expected to end soon, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers stopped and ticketed uninsured drivers.
So far, 25.5 percent of 5,012 drivers stopped in Travis County and small portions of nearby Williamson and Hays counties since June 2, didn't have auto insurance.
A spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas says the numbers show that Texas has an even larger number of uninsured drivers than had been realized.
This spring, the minimum amount of liability insurance Texas drivers are required to have, increased for the first time in 22 years.
