Texas and Colorado are the only states that specify the limit at 100%.
Check with your insurance company to see how this would be handled if you have a damaged vehicle in these states. Note: Most insurers who are free to make the determination that a car is a total loss use the 70% rule. So, in the states where they defer to the insurance company, you should expect the limit to be approximately 70%. In states where thresholds for a salvage title are specified, insurance companies will use the mandated limit in that state.
