What it is and who needs it.
What the CNG/LNG fuel tax bond actually covers
Texas taxes compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) used as motor fuel under Tax Code Chapter 162, administered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The tax is collected by a licensed CNG/LNG dealer when the fuel is delivered into a vehicle’s supply tank — and the dealer must post a continuous bond standing behind that tax.
The bond is generally two times the maximum amount of tax that could accrue on CNG or LNG produced, purchased, acquired, sold, or delivered in a reporting period, with a $30,000 minimum and $600,000 maximum. The Comptroller can require more if it sees undue risk to revenue.
Anyone who delivers CNG or LNG from their own storage into their own vehicles must also be a licensed dealer. The Comptroller sets your exact amount; pricing starts from $225 with one soft credit pull that informs approval, never affecting your score.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 continuous bond with your CNG/LNG dealer license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
