What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) can require a performance bond from certain retailers as a condition of holding a license. For a Retailer's On-Premise (BE) or Wine & Beer Retailer's (BG) holder that does not also hold a Food & Beverage (FB) certificate, the performance bond is $2,000.
The bond stands behind your compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Code and TABC rules, and behind any taxes, fees, or penalties you owe the state. Note that the required amount can increase if you violate the Code or TABC rules — the $2,000 is the baseline, not a ceiling.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and TABC. If you violate the Code or fail to pay what you owe, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Whether the bond applies to your specific license can turn on your county and your FB status, so confirm with TABC.

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 $2,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 TABC. Your executed performance bond arrives by email, ready to file with your TABC license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
