How it works

Built for the order of appointment.

A receiver can’t assume the duties of the office until the bond is executed and approved, so the bond is usually the gating step after appointment. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the order of appointment, the assets in receivership and their value, and the receiver’s details. The value the receiver will hold drives the penal sum.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, the receiver’s credit and finances, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and collateral.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the receiver can take control of the assets.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond secures

A Texas court appoints a receiver (or referee or master) to take custody of disputed or distressed property — a business, real estate, or assets — and manage it neutrally while a case proceeds.

The receiver bond guarantees the receiver faithfully discharges the duties of the office and obeys the court’s orders: collecting, preserving, accounting for, and distributing the property as directed. If the receiver mismanages or misappropriates, the bond makes the estate whole, and the surety looks to the receiver to repay it.

Because the surety stands behind the assets the receiver holds, the bond is underwritten on the receiver’s credit and finances, and a large receivership can require collateral. The court fixes the amount and can adjust it as the receivership develops.

Texas StatuteCivil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 64 governs receiverships. Section 64.022 requires a receiver, before assuming the duties of the office, to be sworn to perform them faithfully; § 64.023 requires the receiver to execute a good and sufficient bond, approved by the appointing court, in an amount fixed by the court, conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge the duties of the office.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Texas receiver bond?It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, referee, or master executes before assuming the duties of the office. Under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 64.023, it is approved by the appointing court in an amount the court fixes, conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge those duties — protecting the property placed in receivership.
How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum to the value of the assets in receivership. A surety specialist then reviews the receiver’s credit and finances and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount?The appointing court does, in an amount it fixes under § 64.023, usually high enough to cover the property the receiver will hold. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court fixes, and adjust it if the court increases or decreases the amount.
Does the receiver have to do anything else to qualify?Yes. Under § 64.022 the receiver must first be sworn to perform the duties of the office faithfully, and then execute the § 64.023 bond approved by the court. We help arrange the bond so the receiver can qualify and take possession.
How fast can the bond be issued?A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the receiver can take possession.
