Thank you for asking Henry.

An SR-22 insurance policy in Texas is a certificate of insurance that shows proof of insurance in the future to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), as required by law. SR22 is motor vehicle liability insurance which requires the insurance providers to certify the coverage to the DPS, and the insurance provider must inform DPS if the policy is cancelled, terminated or lapses.

There is form called SR-26 which must be filed by the insurance company to cancel or terminate the SR-22. If you no longer needs the SR-22 you should tell your insurance provider to cancel it. Some insurance companies may want you to provide documentation from the DPS that the SR22 can be remove already before filing the SR-26. You may contact the DPS to confirm that you can remove the SR-22.

Goodluck!
