About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the conduct bond actually guarantees

The conduct surety bond is the bond most Texas retail alcohol permittees post under Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11. For a package store permit (P), 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's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Commission (the obligee). The bond must say on its face that you will not violate a law relating to alcoholic beverages or a Commission rule, and that the amount of the bond is paid to the state if the permit is revoked or on final adjudication that you violated the Code — §11.11(b)(2).

The amount is $10,000, and TABC requires the bond only if your premises sit within 1,000 feet of a public school (measured property line to property line). The bond is filed on TABC form L-2-60.2. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11 (TABC form L-2-60.2)Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11 requires a conduct surety bond from the permit types TABC lists in the instructions to form L-2-60.2, conditioned on the applicant's or holder's conformance with alcoholic beverage law; the amount of the bond is paid to the state if the permit is revoked or on final adjudication of a violation (§11.11(b)(2)). Those instructions set the amount by permit type, and they place the Package Store Permit (P) in the group carrying a $10,000 bond that is required only where the premises are within 1,000 feet of the property line of a public school. The bond is filed on TABC form L-2-60.2 with the Package Store Permit (P). Section 11.11 was added by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 934, §19 and last amended in 1995, and §11.11(e) exempts some holders of three years' standing — confirm the amount and applicability for your permit on your TABC notice or in AIMS. §11.11(a)(1), which sets the lower amount, does not reach Chapter 22 package store permits. Confirm your requirement and amount with TABC before you file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Texas TABC conduct bond?Premiums start from $100 and scale with your bond amount and credit tier. The bond amount itself is $5,000 by default, or $10,000 if your premises are within 1,000 feet of a public school. Enter the figure and your exact price appears at the application; most applicants qualify at or near the minimum.

Why does TABC require this bond?Under Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11, the conduct bond guarantees you operate in compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Code and Commission rules. If you violate alcohol law or a Commission rule, the bond amount is forfeited to the state.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check does run, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score — one of the simplest bonds to request.

Which form is it, and where do I file?TABC form L-2-60.2 (the Conduct Surety Bond). You file it with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission alongside your permit application or renewal, typically through the Alcohol Industry Management System (AIMS).

Is this the same as the bond I file with the Comptroller?No. Some mixed-beverage and private-club permittees also post a separate tax security with the Texas Comptroller. The conduct bond here is the TABC compliance bond under §11.11 — a different instrument. If you're unsure which you've been asked for, send us your notice and we'll confirm.
