What it is and who needs it.
What the conduct bond actually guarantees
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) requires certain permit applicants and holders to file a conduct surety bond under Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11. The bond states on its face that the holder will not violate a law of the state relating to alcoholic beverages, or a rule of the commission, during the permit period.
The standard amount is $5,000, rising to $10,000 if the premises is within 1,000 feet of a public school. The bond requirement applies to permits issued under the chapters §11.11 names (such as Chapters 25, 28, and 32) — confirm whether your permit type and location require it on your TABC paperwork.
There's a notable exemption: a permit holder who has held a permit for three years or more, has not had a license or permit revoked in the prior five years, and has continuously operated on the premises, is not required to furnish the bond at renewal. When required, we issue it from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000.

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 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.
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 the TABC. Submit the executed conduct bond (form L-2-60.2) with your permit application or as the TABC directs. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the agency insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
