What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Texas regulates title insurance through the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) under the Title Insurance Act (Insurance Code Title 11). An attorney doesn't have to be licensed as an escrow officer to perform escrow-officer duties, but when an attorney acts as a title insurance or escrow agent, TDI conditions that role on a $7,500 surety bond.
The bond is a public-and-consumer-protection guarantee. Title and escrow work means holding other people's funds at closing — earnest money, payoffs, premiums — and the bond stands behind the honest handling of those funds and compliance with the Title Insurance Act and TDI rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: the attorney (the principal), the surety, and the State of Texas, with parties to a closing as the protected parties. If client or escrow funds are mishandled, the harmed party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the attorney repays the surety. The bond is payable to the Board / Commissioner and must stay in place while the attorney holds the agent role.
