About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When a load is too heavy or too large to move legally on Brazos County roads, the County can issue a superheavy or oversize permit for the trip. The $15,000 bond is a road-and-bridge damage guarantee: it stands behind the actual damage your overweight or oversize vehicle causes to County roads, bridges, or culverts.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Brazos County (the obligee). If your hauling damages a County road or bridge beyond its load limitation, the County can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Haulers who route carefully and stay within their permit terms treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Tex. Transp. Code § 623.018 (county superheavy/oversize permits)Under Texas Transportation Code Section 623.018, the commissioners court of a county may issue, through the county judge, a permit to move superheavy or oversize equipment and other loads that cannot reasonably be dismantled over that county's roads (other than state highways and roads inside a municipality). The commissioners court may require the applicant to execute a bond in an amount sufficient to guarantee payment of any damage to a road or bridge caused by the transportation the permit authorizes. Brazos County sets this bond at $15,000; confirm the current amount and form with the County Road & Bridge office.
