Texas Highway Hauling Performance Bond

According to administrative regulations, the department has established the following guidelines for surety bond requirements:

• All vehicles owned or leased by the company can be considered eligible for oversize overweight permits during the active term of an Annual Bond, which runs from September 1 to August 31.
• Surety bonds must be issued using the department’s official bond form or an exact copy. Copies are acceptable for up to ten days; after that, the original bond must be submitted to continue receiving permits.
• The Principal’s name must be consistently listed throughout the entire document.
• The Principal’s complete home address, including zip code, must be clearly indicated.
• All required signatures must be present on both the original bond and any temporary copies.
• The surety’s official seal must be attached to the document.

If the bond is terminated before its scheduled expiration, a 14-day advance notice is required to alert permit officials accordingly.
