What it is and who needs it.
What the title agent bond actually covers
Texas licenses title insurance agents and direct operations through the Department of Insurance under Insurance Code Chapter 2651. Each agent and direct operation must make, file, and pay for a surety bond payable to the Department, filed on form FINT122.
The bond is conditioned on paying any pecuniary loss sustained by a participant in an insured real-property transaction through an act of fraud, dishonesty, theft, embezzlement, or wilful misapplication by the agent or direct operation — and on covering Department administrative expense in a receivership.
The amount is set by statute at the greater of $10,000 or 10% of the gross premium written by the agent or direct operation in its latest statistical report to the Department, not to exceed $100,000. Under § 2651.102, TDI also accepts cash, an irrevocable letter of credit, or approved securities in lieu of a bond; the application for the surety bond collects no credit information, and pricing is variable by bond amount, from $100.
