Texas staff leasing bonds.
$500 flat.
A Texas staff leasing service, now called a professional employer organization (PEO), can cover a shortfall against its $50,000 working-capital requirement with a surety bond filed with the Department of Licensing and Regulation under Labor Code Chapter 91. The bond sits alongside the audited financial statement every applicant files. Ours is $500 flat.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas licenses staff leasing services — now called professional employer organizations (PEOs) — through the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under Labor Code Chapter 91. A PEO co-employs workers on behalf of client businesses and must demonstrate positive working capital to be licensed.
The working-capital requirement scales with size: $50,000 for a PEO with fewer than 250 assigned employees, $75,000 for 250–750, and $100,000 for more than 750. A PEO can meet it with a guarantee, a letter of credit, or a surety bond in the required amount under Chapter 91.
The bond stands behind the PEO's payment of wages, benefits, payroll taxes, and workers' compensation premiums, and its compliance with Chapter 91. It protects the state and client businesses — if the surety pays a claim, the PEO repays the surety. This $50,000 bond covers the smallest tier; confirm your tier and required amount with TDLR.

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 $50,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 TDLR. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your TDLR staff leasing / PEO license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
