What it is and who needs it.
What the Southlake peddler bond covers
The City of Southlake regulates door-to-door sales through a peddler, solicitor, and itinerant vendor permit, and conditions that permit on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s sales ordinance and protects Southlake residents who buy from you.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Southlake together with the residents you sell to (the protected parties). If a vendor takes money and fails to deliver, or violates the City’s sales rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest sellers treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
