What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas regulates telemarketing under the Telephone Solicitation Act, Business & Commerce Code Chapter 302. A seller who solicits sales by phone must register with the Secretary of State, and the registration is conditioned on a $10,000 security — commonly satisfied by a surety bond on Form 3403.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. It is issued in favor of the State for the benefit of any person injured by the seller’s breach of an agreement entered into during a telephone solicitation — protecting buyers up to the full $10,000 if a registered solicitor fails to honor a deal.
It is not insurance for you — if a buyer recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Note the Act was expanded: as of September 1, 2025, SMS text-message solicitations are treated as telephone solicitations, so text-based sellers fall within the same registration-and-bond requirement.

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 $10,000 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 the Secretary of State. Your executed bond (Form 3403) arrives by email, ready to file with your telephone solicitor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
