What is this bond?

The Texas Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for businesses selling mixed beverages. It guarantees that the business will accurately report and remit all collected mixed beverage sales taxes to the Texas Comptroller. If the business fails to pay these collected taxes, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover the lost revenue.

Who needs it?

Business owners in Texas who hold a mixed beverage permit and collect mixed beverage sales taxes generally need this bond. This typically includes bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to protect public funds and ensure businesses comply with state tax regulations. It acts as a financial safety net, ensuring the state receives all owed mixed beverage sales taxes even if a business faces financial hardship or abruptly closes. Because exact requirements vary, business owners should always verify their specific bonding obligations with the issuing agency.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Texas Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond cost?

Bond premiums are not a flat rate; they vary based on the required bond amount and the financial history of the applicant. To find out your exact cost, please apply online or call Noah Insurance Agency at 814-718-0060.

How do I know what bond amount I need?

The Texas Comptroller determines your specific bond amount based on your business's projected or historical tax liability. Requirements vary, so you must verify the exact figure with the issuing agency before purchasing your bond.

Can I get this bond if I have a low credit score?

Yes, Noah Insurance Agency works with a wide network of surety partners to help applicants with varying credit histories. Apply online through our secure portal to see your available options and exact figures.

Is this bond the only one I need for my Texas bar or restaurant?

Always verify your complete licensing and bonding requirements with the Texas Comptroller and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
