Agents seeking to get this bond do not have to pay the full bond amount unless there are significant claims placed on the bond once it is obtained. The upfront cost is only a premium.

The Texas Athlete Agent Surety Bond states that the bond principal, the person or entity that buys that bond, must:

• faithfully discharge all obligations, duties, and responsibilities
• pay any administrative penalty
• pay damages awarded to an institution of higher education or an athlete as a result of the agent offering or providing a thing of value to an athlete or family member of the athlete.

If an agent does not adhere to these standards, a claim may be placed on the bond.
