What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas regulates athlete agents under Occupations Code Chapter 2051, administered by the Secretary of State. Under § 2051.151, an agent must — before contacting an athlete or entering into an agent contract — deposit a $50,000 surety bond, payable to the state.
The bond is conditioned on the agent complying with Chapter 2051, paying any administrative penalty assessed under the chapter, and paying any damages awarded to an institution of higher education or to an athlete. It protects athletes and their schools from an agent who breaks the rules.
A separate $100,000 bond is required before an agent enters a financial services contract with an athlete, and a bond must be maintained for at least two years after the later of the date the agent stops providing financial services to the athlete or the date the agent’s registration expires or is revoked.

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 $50,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
Pay & e-sign. License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
