Texas laws do not require boat insurance; however, insurance coverage is the only way to protect yourself and the investment you've made into the boat. It's also the only way to protect yourself from liability should someone get hurt because of your boat.
If you don't have insurance on your boat or watercraft, and the boat is damaged or lost, you'll be responsible for paying for repairs or replacement. If you don't have the money for that, you've lost your investment in your boat.
You will be responsible for your expenses if your boat or watercraft is involved in an accident. You can also be held legally liable for the expenses incurred by other boats or vehicles involved if you're found to be at found. If anyone is hurt, you could also be held liable for their medical expenses as well. You can see how that could easily snowball into devastating expenses for you to pay out of pocket.
A good insurance policy can help you to avoid these types of risks. The insurance would kick in following a claim event to help you pay these expenses.
