Texas surety bonds: what to know
Texas surety bonds are required by cities, counties and license boards before many contractors can pull a permit or hold a license, and by project owners before a bid is accepted. A bond is not insurance for you; it's a guarantee to the city or owner that you'll perform, backed by the surety and by your credit. For most license and permit bonds the premium is a small percentage of the bond amount, issued in a day. For bid, performance and payment bonds on projects under $750,000 we use a one-page application and a soft credit check.
How we quote surety bonds in Texas: you give us your name, phone and trade, and the details you have on revenue, payroll and any certificate deadline. We send that to the carriers that actually want your class of work, pull the options into one side-by-side summary, and call you with the number. If a GC or city needs the certificate the same day, say so on the form and we work to that deadline. At renewal we take the policy back to market instead of auto-renewing it.

Texas surety bonds questions we get every week.
How long does it take to get bonded?
For smaller projects we can often have the bond in place the same day. More complex risks may take a few days so the surety can produce exactly the documentation the project requires.
What is required for a bid, performance or payment bond?
For projects under $750,000, a simple one-page application. Approval is based on credit, so we run a soft credit check first that won't affect your score. Once approved, we hold power of attorney for every surety we represent and produce the bond documents in house.
Is the cheapest bond or policy always the best choice?
Not always. Every carrier prices risk differently and a cheaper policy can carry exclusions worth understanding before you sign. A low quote can also come from a broker without true construction markets. We match you to specialty markets built for contractors.
What else can you cover?
General liability, excess, pollution, professional liability, commercial auto and motor cargo, workers' compensation, builders risk, bid, performance and payment bonds, and personal lines.
