Texas licenses Professional Employer Organizations (formerly staff leasing companies) through TDLR under Labor Code Chapter 91, and a surety bond is one accepted way to meet the financial-security requirement. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — and your exact price appears at the application.

No waiting — most applications approve instantly and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay.
Submit the executed bond with your PEO license application or renewal as proof of financial security. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the agency insists.
A PEO co-employs a client company's workers — running payroll, withholding and remitting employment taxes, and providing benefits. Texas licenses PEOs through TDLR under Labor Code Chapter 91 and requires each license holder to demonstrate financial responsibility so those obligations get met.
Chapter 91 lets a PEO meet the requirement by maintaining positive working capital, and where there's a shortfall, by posting a surety bond, letter of credit, or guaranty to make up the deficiency. The accepted bond amounts commonly scale with assigned-employee count — roughly $50,000 under 250 employees, $75,000 for 250–750, and $100,000 above 750 — but the exact figure comes from TDLR.
The bond stands behind the PEO's compliance with Chapter 91 and TDLR rules, protecting client companies and assigned employees. If the surety pays a claim, the PEO repays the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for the PEO. We issue the amount TDLR sets, priced from a $100 minimum with the application collecting no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount TDLR required — most applications approve instantly, and the executed bond is generated ready to file.
