TX superheavy / oversize bonds.
$100 flat.
Texas conditions a superheavy or oversize permit on a $10,000 bond filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book, identical for every hauler. The bond covers damage your load may do to state and county roads. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
Texas regulates the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles under Transportation Code Chapter 623, administered by the TxDMV Motor Carrier Division. For a superheavy or oversize permit, the Department requires a $10,000 surety bond as a financial guarantee that your load won't leave taxpayers holding the bill for damaged infrastructure.
The bond is a road-and-bridge-damage guarantee: it's payable to the state, and to any county or municipality whose roads your permitted vehicle travels, for damage the vehicle causes — up to the $10,000 limit. It is a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and TxDMV with the affected road authorities (the obligee/beneficiaries).
Superheavy and oversize permit bonds in Texas generally run on an annual cycle keyed to August 31. If the surety pays a damage claim, you repay the surety — operators who route carefully and obey permit conditions treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
