Key takeaway
What Texas law says about out-of-country licenses and insurance.
Texas recognises valid foreign driver's licences for visitors, and new residents have 90 days to swap theirs for a Texas licence. In the meantime you still have to be insured, and that is where most people get stuck.
Insurers accept more than you think
A Mexican or other foreign licence is enough for the carriers we work with. You will need the licence, an ID such as a passport or Matricula Consular, and proof of a Texas address.
What to watch for
Some companies quote a higher "international driver" rate. Ask, compare, and walk away from anyone who charges you for where your licence was issued rather than how you drive.
