Texas state representatives filed House Bill 2573 yesterday to establish a motor vehicle financial responsibility program in the state.  Since uninsured motorists account for up to 20% of all people driving in Texas, this bill will require the Department of Public Safety to develop a program that will be effective in reducing the number of uninsured motorists by having the department continually verify whether or not drivers have continuing insurance coverage on their vehicles.
