Why do I need this bond?

Texas insurance agency bonds exist to protect consumers and the state from any illegal or fraudulent activity that occurs at the hand of a principal (insurance agency). By posting this bond, the principal agrees to abide by all provisions of the Insurance Code of the Texas Legislation. Prohibited acts according to this code include:

  • failing to renew license while continuing business operations
  • failing to inform the Department of any agent’s termination and cause of termination, change of mailing address, felony convictions, and any administrative action taken by another state or the federal government
  • acquiring and insuring any good that they have personal interest in
  • failing to maintain necessary records

If any of these acts occur and a valid claim is made against the insurance agency’s bond, the surety will initially cover all damages. The principal must fully reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.

What’s the fine print?

Insurance agency bonds in Texas are continuous until canceled. If the surety decides to cancel this bond prior to the termination date, it must provide at least 30 days of notice to the Texas Department of Insurance.
