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 wine only package store permit (Q), 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).

Unlike most permits on the bonded list, the Q 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. 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 and §61.13 require a conduct surety bond from the permit types TABC lists in the instructions to form L-2-60.2. The current (7/2021) form L-2-60.2 places the Wine Only Package Store Permit (Q) — alongside the Package Store Permit (P) and the Wine & Malt Beverage Retailer's Off Premise Permit (BQ) — in the group requiring a $10,000 bond only if the business is located within 1,000 feet of a public school, measuring property line to property line. Where required, 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)). The bond is filed on TABC form L-2-60.2 with the permit application or renewal. Confirm whether your premises trigger this requirement with TABC before you file.
