Mixed beverage tax bonds, debt collector, credit services organization and over axle weight permit bonds are all available to apply for online in Texas.
SuretyBondly keeps adding Texas surety bonds, and you can apply for each of them online. Here are five Texas bonds worth knowing about, from bars and restaurants to collection agencies and heavy haulers.
Five Texas Bonds You Can Get Online
- Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond. Texas businesses that hold a mixed beverage permit collect sales tax on drinks they serve. The state can require a bond to secure payment of that tax.
- Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond. Mixed beverage permit holders also owe a gross receipts tax on alcohol sales, and this bond secures payment of it. Many bars and restaurants need both bonds.
- Third-Party Debt Collector Bond. Texas requires third-party debt collectors and collection agencies to file a bond before they collect consumer debts in the state. See the Texas Third-Party Debt Collector Bond.
- Credit Services Organization Bond. Businesses that offer credit repair or arrange consumer loans in Texas register as credit services organizations, and the registration calls for a bond.
- Over Axle and Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit Bond. Trucking companies that haul loads over standard axle or gross weight limits under a Texas tolerance permit file this bond with the permit.
Who the Bonds Protect
Each of these bonds protects the state or the public, not the business that buys it. If the business fails to pay a tax it owes or breaks the rules tied to its license or permit, a claim can be paid from the bond. The business then repays the surety.
