TX automobile club bonds.
$250 flat.
Texas requires an automobile club to post $25,000 of security for its certificate of authority — a surety bond is one of the accepted forms, filed with the Secretary of State. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas regulates automobile clubs — companies that sell roadside assistance, towing reimbursement, bail bond, and similar member services — through the Secretary of State under Transportation Code Chapter 722. Before it can sell, a club must hold a certificate of authority and post $25,000 of security.
The statute lets a club satisfy that requirement by depositing $25,000 in approved securities, $25,000 in cash, or a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is conditioned on the club's faithful performance in providing the services it sells, and on payment of any fines or penalties for failing to comply with Chapter 722.
It's a three-party arrangement: the club (the principal), the surety, and the State of Texas, with members as the protected parties. The aggregate liability of the surety can't exceed the $25,000 face amount, and the security must stay in place as long as the club has any obligation in Texas. If the surety pays a claim, the club repays the surety.
