TX hearing instrument bonds.
$100 flat.
Texas requires anyone fitting and dispensing hearing instruments to file $10,000 of financial security with the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under Occupations Code Chapter 402 — a surety bond is one accepted form. Ours is $100 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 licenses hearing instrument fitters and dispensers through the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under Occupations Code Chapter 402 and 16 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 112. A sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or other entity engaged in fitting and dispensing must file $10,000 of financial security with the department.
The bond is conditioned on the entity paying all taxes and contributions owed to the state and its political subdivisions, and on satisfying judgments for negligently or improperly dispensing hearing instruments or breaching a contract relating to that dispensing. It protects consumers and the state, not the fitter.
Texas accepts the $10,000 in several forms — a surety bond, a cash deposit, a certificate of deposit, or an original letter of credit. Most fitters use the surety bond because it costs a small fixed premium rather than tying up $10,000 in cash. If the surety pays a claim, the fitter repays the surety.
