The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires legal service contract companies to post surety bonds in varying amounts. Companies that generate $300,000 or less in annual gross revenue from legal service contract sales must post $50,000 bonds. Companies that generate between $300,001 and $750,000 in annual gross revenue must post $75,000 bonds. Companies that generate more than $750,000 in annual gross revenue must post $100,000 bonds.

These bonds are subject to underwriting, which means the cost is based on a review of the applicant’s qualifications.

Why do I need this bond?

For-profit legal service contract bonds in Texas ensure that principals (legal service contract companies) perform all duties and obligations as stated in their contracts and remain in compliance with Chapter 953 of the Texas Occupations Code and all other regulations authorized by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Violations against this specific bond include selling, offering to sell, or issuing any legal service contract without giving the legal service contract holder a receipt and a copy of the contract. Other violations include not filing legal service contracts with the executive director before the contract is sold or issued.

The bond protects harmed parties from financial loss that occurs as a result of the principal’s unlawful and unethical business practices up to the full amount of the bond.

What’s the fine print?

Texas for-profit legal service contracts bonds remain in full force and effect until canceled by the surety. The surety can cancel the bond by giving written notice of cancellation to the department at least 60 days prior to the effective cancellation date.
