It does not sound as if a police report was made. If possible it is usually best to get a police report when in an accident so that the law enforcement officer will be sure to check insurance cards and get the both driver's insurance information written up.
If a police report was taken you may call for a copy of the report that hopefully has the truck driver's insurance information listed on it. Or the law enforcement office may be able to help you track down the driver's insurance information the Tennessee Department of Safety should have on file.
If this is not possible then the Tennessee Financial Responsibility Division should be able to help you hopefully with the information you have on the at-fault truck driver.
This division of the TN Department of Safety administers the Financial Responsibility Law by coordinating all cancellation, suspension, and revocation actions against driving privileges arising from crashes and/or moving traffic violations. This division maintains information on out-of-state traffic violations by Tennessee licensed drivers, as well as offenses committed in this state.
The Financial Responsibility Division is responsible for processing the reinstatement of driving privileges by seeing that an individual has met all requirements of the law. Since this department works with drivers to make sure they properly take care of their financial responsibility after an accident it would appear they could help you find out about the driver's insurance or steer you toward another TN state agency that could help with the look up of this information so you can place a claim.
You should be able to contact them from Texas on their toll free number of 1-866-903-7357.
