What it is and who needs it.
What the performance bond actually guarantees
A TABC performance bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to operate your wine and malt beverage retailer's permit — the BG permit that older paperwork calls a wine and beer retailer's permit — in accordance with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code and the rules of the Commission. It is required of BG holders in Bexar, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant counties who do not hold a Food and Beverage (FB) certificate, and it is filed with your original application.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (the obligee). If TABC forfeits the bond after a code or rule violation, the Commission can recover against it — and a larger replacement bond is then required before the permit is reinstated.
This is the first $2,000 tier. The amount escalates only after a forfeiture — to $4,000, then higher. Keep the bond active and the permit current, and most BG holders never see an escalation. We notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so it stays continuous.

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.
