(a) Intrastate transportation. No motor carrier shall
operate a foreign commercial motor vehicle in intrastate transportation
in Texas, unless the motor carrier obtains and has in effect an insurance
policy which covers at least the minimum level required by 49 C.F.R.
Part 387. However, if the motor carrier is required to register with
the department under Transportation Code, Chapter 643, the motor carrier
must comply with the financial responsibility requirements in §218.16
of this title (relating to Insurance Requirements). For the purposes
of this subsection, intrastate transportation is any transportation
on a public road or highway in Texas that is not described in 49 U.S.C. §13501.
(b) The department adopts by reference 49 C.F.R. Part
387. Effective October 23, 2015, the department adopts by reference
the amendments to 49 C.F.R. Part 387 with an effective date of October
23, 2015.
