Good Question Alice.
An SR-22 insurance policy in Texas is a certificate of insurance. It shows proof of insurance for the future to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) , as required by law. It is not a high risk insurance. It is motor vehicle liability insurance. It is required by the insurance company to certify to the DPS of your coverage. The insurance company must notify DPS anytime if the policy is cancelled, terminated or lapses.
Appropriate enforcement action may be taken once the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) receives notification from the insurance company that the policy is cancelled before the required period. If the SR-22 is still required, the driving privilege and vehicle registration will suspended.
The SR-26 form must be filed by the insurance company to cancel the SR-22. If your son no longer needs the SR-22 he needs to inform his insurance company to have it removed. Some insurance companies may want him to show documentation from the DPS that the SR22 can be removed already. Thats the time they will submit the sr-26. To confirm if the sr-22 can be removed already, your son may contact the Department of Public Safety.
The cancellation of SR-22 insurance certificate in the form of sr-26 is a form submitted by an insurance company to inform the department that the SR-22 issued by that company has been terminated. The form SR26 filing may start suspension action by the department if the record of the individual shows that the SR22 is still required at the time the SR26 is received. This is the reason why your son should be certain the SR22 is no longer required by the state. You may contact your insurance agent or the Department of Public Safety to get more information.
Goodluck!
