Thank you for asking Kris.
If you have changed your residency in Ohio you will need to get not only Ohio car insurance but also Ohio license plates and registration.
According to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) if you are new to Ohio, you will need to obtain a new driver license, license plates, and an title for your car in Ohio.
You can also visit your local BMV and get a pamphlet designed for new residents to OH. The website of BMV shows the steps to take in order to acquire the new driver’s license, license plate for your vehicle and Ohio title for your car. This explains the steps for getting these items.
According to Ohio laws, if you want to move to Ohio and become a resident there, you need to become a licensed Ohio driver as soon as possible. You are considered an Ohio resident once you take a job, sign a lease, buy a home, register to vote, or enroll children in school.
You may be able to get auto insurance with your Texas plates if your are in the process of changing over your license.
Goodluck!
