TX TABC conduct bonds.
$100 flat.
Texas requires a conduct surety bond from the holder of a Wine & Beer Retailer's Off Premise Permit (BQ) under Alcoholic Beverage Code §11.11, filed on TABC form L-2-60.2, only if your premises sit within 1,000 feet of a public school (property line to property line). Where required, the amount is a flat $10,000. Ours is $100 flat, identical for every applicant, and 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 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 Wine & Beer Retailer's Off Premise Permit (BQ), 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 BQ permit sits in the group where the bond is required only near a public school: TABC form L-2-60.2 requires it only if your premises are within 1,000 feet of a public school, property line to property line, and at that point the amount is a flat $10,000. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
