I made arrangements with the other insurance company of some small monthly amount (50 to 75 a month I think), work got slow, and so did I with my payments. Not only does the company you owe not have to notify you of their intent to notify the state, but the state doesn't foward notices by mail if you've moved. I found out about a year and a half later when the company I was working for ran a routine check for all those who might be driving company vehicles. Its called "failure to comply with the financial responsibility act" in Tennessee, and it does have "teeth".
Seems there's a fair bit of squishiness in the law. Definitely hold out and talk to the lawyer on Monday.

I was involved in an accident. Can the Department of Revenue determine whether or not the other party in the accident had a liability insurance policy in force at the time of the accident and provide this information to me?
No. The Department of Revenue does not maintain a database of insurance policy information.
How does the Department of Revenue adminster the liability insurance law?
The Department of Revenue randomly surveys vehicle owners to determine if the owners are maintaining liability insurance. If not, the Department will suspend the vehicle tag registration. The registration reinstatement fee will be $100 for the first suspension, and the owner will be required to provide proof of liability insurance. For subsequent registration reinstatements, the fee will be $200 after the owner has served a four month suspension and upon presentation of proof of liability insurance.
The Department of Revenue will also suspend the vehicle tag registration of any motor vehicle the driver of which has been convicted of operating the vehicle without liability insurance coverage, displaying false proof of liability insurance coverage or failing or refusing to comply with a request by a law enforcement officer to display evidence of insurance.
