How much does a motor fuels tax bond cost in Texas?
If you supply, import, export, deal, or blend gasoline or diesel fuel within Texas, you must be bonded. The required bond amount must be equal to two times the maximum amount of tax liability that could accrue during a reporting period or accrue on purchased tax-free gasoline.
The minimum bond amount for gasoline and diesel fuel is $30,000, and the maximum amount is $600,000. If you handle dyed diesel fuel, the minimum bond amount is $10,000, and the maximum is $600,000. Bond amounts are determined by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, and applicants should verify their required bond amount prior to bonding.

Why do I need this bond?
By posting a Texas motor fuels tax continuous bond, the principal (supplier, importer, exporter, or blender) promises to comply with all state statutes pertaining to the motor fuel industry. Specifically, principals pledge to pay all taxes that become due to the state.
If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects the state from financial loss up to the full amount of the bond. The principal must reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.
