About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the conduct bond actually guarantees

The conduct surety bond is the bond Texas retail alcohol permittees post under Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11. For a Mixed Beverage Permit (MB), it's a good-conduct guarantee: that you'll operate in compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Code and the rules of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Texas (the obligee). If the permit holder violates a law relating to alcoholic beverages or a Commission rule, the amount of the bond is paid to the state — that's TABC form L-2-60.2's own condition language.

The amount is not variable by choice — TABC form L-2-60.2's instructions place the Mixed Beverage Permit (MB) in the group requiring a $5,000 bond, rising to $10,000 only if your premises sit within 1,000 feet of a public school property line. Enter the figure that matches your location and your exact price appears at the application — 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11; TABC form L-2-60.2 instructionsTexas Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11 requires an applicant for a permit under Chapters 25, 28, or 32 — which include the Mixed Beverage Permit (MB) — to file a $5,000 conduct surety bond, or $10,000 if the place of business is within 1,000 feet of the property line of a public school, conditioned on the applicant's conformance with the Alcoholic Beverage Code; the bond amount is paid to the state if the permit is revoked or on final adjudication of a violation. TABC's own instructions to form L-2-60.2 confirm the Mixed Beverage Permit (MB) sits in the $5,000-or-$10,000 group. Section 11.11 was added by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 934, §19, and §11.11(e) exempts some holders of three years' standing — confirm your amount and applicability on your TABC notice or in AIMS.
