Texas is known as the second largest state in the United States. Texas has also been given the nickname the Lone Star State to signify Texas as an independent republic and as a reminder of the state’s struggle for independence from Mexico. The “Lone Star” can be found on the Texas state flag and on the Texas state seal today. Since Texas borders Mexico you can imagine a lot of Texas truck drivers might have business opportunities that involve travel in Mexico. Your Texas truck insurance should cover you if you drive in other U.S. states and Canada. Your Texas truck insurance policy will NOT cover you in Mexico because Mexico does not recognize U.S. auto liability policies. The Mexican police may hold truck drivers criminally and financially responsible for any truck accidents they cause. If you’re in an accident that results in an injury, police may keep you until they determine who is at fault and if you have legal Mexican insurance. Some Texas truck insurance policies will provide an endorsement for your policy that covers occasional trips up to 25 miles of the border. Mexican liability insurance can also be purchased as a secondary policy. When purchasing your Texas truck insurance take the time to review the policy for any Mexico restrictions. Give J.E.B.
