Due to adverse claims experience, Surety1 no longer has a market willing to provide this type of bond.

The Texas Continuous Bond of Seller is required by the State of Texas Controller of Public Accounts. It is often referred to as a Texas Comptroller Surety Bond. The Texas Continuous Bond of Seller states that the bond holder shall comply with all the provisions of the statutes and pay all taxes including interest, penalties, and costs. The penal sum for this bond will vary depending on the person or entity applying, but it will be in the greater amount of the following options: $100,000 or four times the amount of the average monthly tax liability.

What is the purpose of a Texas Continuous Bond of Seller?

A Texas continuous bond of seller guarantees to the obligee, the person or entity who requires the bond, that the bond principal (the person or entity who has to buy the bond) will pay the full amount of sales taxes due to the state. The State and the Controller of Public Accounts require this bond because it helps ensure that all revenue earned from sales tax is given to the state.

According to the Texas Administrative Code, any person who applies for a tax permit may be required to post a bond. It may also be required for any permitted retailer who is or has been delinquent in the payment of state or local sales or use tax.
