What it is and who needs it.
What the agent bond actually guarantees
When a business is authorized to sell hunting and fishing licenses for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, it collects state money on every license and permit it issues. The sales agent bond is a financial-accountability guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to account for and pay over those funds.
Under the bond, the agent (the principal) agrees to faithfully and fully account for and pay over the funds derived from license and permit sales — typically remitted on a regular cycle — and to assume responsibility for all the licenses and permits entrusted to them. The State of Tennessee, through TWRA, is the protected party.
If an agent collects license money and fails to remit it, TWRA can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the agent repays the surety. It is not insurance for you; it is a guarantee that the state's money reaches the state. We issue the amount TWRA requires from $100, with no credit check up to $50,000 in the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
