The Texas Escrow Officers Schedule Bond is required by the Texas Department of Insurance for all escrow officers. The amount of the bond, according to the Texas Insurance Code, is $5,000 for bona fide residents of the state or $10,000 for bona fide residents of a state adjacent to Texas.

In order to perform the duties of an Escrow Officer in Texas, you must be licensed through the Department of Insurance. In order to get the license, applicants must post the Texas Escrow Officers Schedule Bond and have a copy of it on file with the Department of Insurance Commissioner. The Texas Title Insurance Act defines an escrow officer as an attorney or employee of an attorney licensed as an escrow officer or title insurance agent, whose duties include:

• Countersigning title insurance forms.
• Supervising the preparation and supervising the delivery of title insurance forms.
• Signing escrow checks.
• Closing the transaction.

Additional Requirements 

The application may be done online through SIRCON. All applicants must get a fingerprint background check from IdentoGO if they do not live in Texas, and pay $35 for the application fee.
