Credit Services Organization Bond Requirements in Texas
Credit services organizations in Texas must comply with Chapter 393 of the Finance Code and Texas Administration Code Chapter 74. These rules govern the registration requirements for credit services organizations. One requirement is proof of security.
Specifically, proof of security is required for credit services businesses that accept compensation before services are rendered. A surety bond or an acceptable security account of $10,000 is required for each business location.
The bond obligee is the Texas Secretary of State. The registration period is one year, and the bond runs continuously until it is canceled. To cancel the bond, the surety company must provide the state with a 60-day written notice.
The bond premium is due annually in order to maintain the bond. Prior to the bond expiration date, we will contact you with renewal instructions.
