An SR-22 auto insurance policy is a certificate of insurance that shows proof of insurance for the future in the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) , as required by law. It is a an auto liability insurance which requires the insurance carriers to certify coverage to Department of Public Safety, and the insurance carrier must notify DPS anytime the policy is lapses, cancelled or terminated.

The SR-26 (cancellation of SR-22 insurance certificate) is a form submitted by an insurance provider to inform the department that the SR-22 insurance certificate issued by that insurer has been canceled. The filing of form SR26 may initiate suspension action by the department if the person’s driver record shows that the SR22 financial responsibility certificate is still required at the time the SR26 is received. That is the reason why your sister will want to make sure the SR22 is no longer required by the state of Texas. The DPS and his insurance broker should be able to give her with more information on how remove the SR22.
