What it is and who needs it.
What the mixed beverage bond actually covers
Texas imposes a 6.7% mixed beverage gross receipts tax on permittees who sell mixed drinks, under Tax Code Chapter 183. The Comptroller can require a permittee to post security — a surety bond — guaranteeing payment of that tax, plus any interest, penalties, and costs.
The bond amount is set by the Comptroller and is generally tied to your tax liability: a $3,750 minimum, and up to the greater of four times your average monthly liability or $100,000. Mixed beverage permittees also post a separate bond for the 8.25% mixed beverage sales tax — that is a different filing.
The bond stands behind the gross receipts tax you collect and owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Comptroller set; no credit check up to $10,000, and pricing is variable by bond amount, from $100.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Comptroller. Submit the executed bond to the Comptroller to satisfy the gross receipts tax security requirement. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
