Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

I damaged instructor's car while learning to drive, the car door now has a dent. The instructor told me that his car only has liability insurance, so the question is - who will be liable for the damage?

A bit more information, the instructor is not from a driving school, he is a student and posts advertisement to offer driving instruction. No formal contract was made, but there are text records. We agreed on the payment term, but did not touch on the liability in case of car damage.

By the way, I am in Texas, and the accident happened in Texas. Are there any underlying rules or laws that I can bring forward as my solid ground?
