Texas combative sports promoter bonds.
$150 flat.
Texas requires every combative sports promoter to file a fixed $15,000 bond with the Department of Licensing and Regulation — ours is $150 flat, the price you see is the checkout price. This is the bond guaranteeing you pay your event obligations; the gross receipts tax has its own separate $15,000 bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas regulates professional and amateur combative sports — boxing, kickboxing, MMA, Muay Thai — through the Department of Licensing and Regulation under Occupations Code Chapter 2052. A promoter who stages events must be licensed, and the license is conditioned on a $15,000 surety bond.
This is the event-obligations bond: it guarantees you conduct your events and pay the obligations that arise from them in accordance with Chapter 2052 and the Department's rules in 16 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 61. If a promoter fails to meet those obligations, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Note that Texas requires promoters to file two separate $15,000 bonds: this one for event obligations, and a second one for the gross receipts tax. We write both.

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 $15,000 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.
