Texas is a better place to be than
attorney-infested California. But, check that
the liability on that policy will cover up to
your own umbrella limit or a large chunk of your
personal assets. Out of town attorneys can be a
real PITA if she has a fender-bender.
Usually deductibles apply to comprehensive or
collision coverages, not liability so it sounds
like you've got some coverage on the vehicle.
If you switch 1000 deductible on the collision
and comprehensive you can probably raise the
liability limit and save a buck or two.
Remind her to add the AAA number to her cellphone.
