The City of Dumas requires a fixed $1,000 bond for a door-to-door solicitor license — ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Dumas solicitor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Dumas, the seat of Moore County in the Texas Panhandle, licenses door-to-door solicitors — people who sell goods or services or take orders from house to house. As a condition of that license, the City requires a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it protects residents who buy from or place orders with a solicitor against fraud, undelivered goods, or violations of the City’s solicitation rules. The City of Dumas and harmed residents can recover against the bond up to $1,000.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dumas (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
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 $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
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.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
No credit check.
