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.
