Yes, you absolutely do! Just as anybody else, if you own a vehicle, by law, you need to have at the minimum, liability coverage.

If you are both going to be driving the car, you should add the co-leaser on the drivers insurance as an additional driver. If it's just going to be the first leaser, then I would say only the driver has to carry the insurance.

In Texas is it necessary for a car owner to also buy insurance in HIS name in the case where the car is solely used by a friend who HAS insurance with the same car?

Not currently, most state DMVs require that the person who registers the vehicle have insurance on the car. The DMV in TX piloted a program last year that concluded over 25% of registered vehicles are uninsured. Once this program actually goes into affect then the answer to your question will be yes. But as of now, no. It is important that the person actually using the vehicle carry insurance on it, but be aware of these issues: 1. As the owner of a car you can be found liable for damage caused by your vehicle, even if you are not the driver. 2. A lot of insurance companies will require that the person insuring the vehicle is the owner, however will not be willing to insure your car since you are not the regular driver. 3. If somebody else is going to insure your car, ask they the insurance company list you as an additional interest. This will garauntee that in the event of an accident you are notified and given legal representation if the driver of your car is at-fault.

You purchase the car at the dealer for your friend does the insurance has to be under your name also?

No, insurance does not always follow the owernership of the car unless you and your friend live in the same house and you have your driver's licence. If you tell the insurance company that you are not going to drive the car at all time and main driver is your friend, then you do not have to be under the same insurance.
