Apparently you are correct. Depending on who responds that will determine if it gets impounded. HPD and Shenandoah do this from what I understand. DPS responded though since it was on the Interstate and they don't do that. Admittedly he had a bad situation with a divorce as to why he didn't have it, but that allows him my sympathy, but not a free pass. He should have had the insurance continued. I never dropped mine during my divorce.
He actually told me he might get arrested since he didn't renew it. He was well aware that it was a possibility. Maybe they will do something like Colorado does. As soon as you are found not reported with insurance in their database they send a letter and within 60 or 90 days with no proof they revoke your registration and driver's license.
I am alright though, my truck, not so well. I should be getting it back by the end of this week though.

My First LEO Contact
So, on March 1st, some jerk decided he had to blow through a red light and plow up the side of my truck. When the DPS officer arrived, he never said a word and just did his write up. I was more worried about the reaction of the guy who hit me than I was the officer when I handed over both licenses. It was uneventful and my only surprise was them allowing someone with no insurance to drive off. FYI, I did have it on me as well as two more in my shooting bag in the back seat as well as my .308.
