What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
When you do work inside a Waller County, TX right-of-way — boring under a road, cutting pavement to lay utilities, building a driveway approach, or grading near a county road — the county issues a permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond stands behind your obligation to restore the roadway and right-of-way to county standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Waller County (the obligee), with the traveling public protected. If you leave the road damaged, fail to backfill or repave properly, or abandon the work, the county can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set starting from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000 on the application.

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 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.
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 Waller County. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application at the county. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
