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.
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, if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
This is the escalated $4,000 tier. The first performance bond is $2,000; after a forfeiture, a $4,000 bond is required before the permit can be reinstated — this page. A further forfeiture steps the amount up again. We notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your filing 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 $4,000 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.
