What it is and who needs it.
What the sales tax bond actually covers
Texas collects sales and use tax under Tax Code Chapter 151, administered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Most permitted sellers never post a bond — but the Comptroller can require security from a seller, typically a retailer who has been delinquent on state or local sales or use tax.
When required, the bond — a continuous bond of seller — is generally set in an amount up to four times the seller's average monthly tax liability; under § 151.253(b) the most that may be required is the greater of $100,000 or four times that average monthly liability. The Comptroller fixes the amount in each case.
The bond stands behind the sales 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; the application collects no credit information, and pricing is variable by bond amount, from $125.
