Texas Auto Insurance Rates To Drop Across State
The State Board of Insurance announced new auto insurance rates for the year starting Aug 1. Liability coverage will fall about 4 percent, collision rates also dip on average, with comprehensive costs rising in hurricane-affected coastal and central areas and easing in the northwest. Overall Texans will save about 10 million, with merit points removal still lowering most drivers' costs next year. Amarillo IB class motorists face $30 bodily injury and property liability charges, down from $90 for those with penalties and from $30 with no penalty points.
