Details for staffing, dates and DPS release

DPS's provider instructions require a permanent occupied Texas structure, evidence of qualifying commercial vehicles, prior continuous operation and DPS certification of the basic-controls pad and test route. Have DPS confirm eligibility and the certified examiner roster before matching security. The bond does not supply those approvals.

The posted undertaking identifies DPS as obligee, the applicant business as principal and a Texas-authorized surety. It calculates security by certified examiner, with an aggregate sum and provision for amendment by rider. Have DPS and the provider confirm how staff additions or departures affect the actual required total.

The form states a definite effective period and permits continuation at the surety's option, while also requiring continuous effect until DPS gives the bond provider written authorization to discontinue. Have those provisions and the accepted dates coordinated before execution; do not assume the expiry field alone permits the testing provider to stop maintaining security.

Read the deadlines separately. Clause 2 addresses proceedings brought within one year after termination or expiry, but clause 4 requires a payment demand or request before the bond's expiry date. The later proceedings limit is not permission to postpone a payment demand beyond its separate deadline.

Continuation does not make the surety's liability cumulative from period to period. The form also says its terms prevail if inconsistent with the underlying memorandum. Match the full accepted wording with DPS, complete principal and surety execution, and submit through the Program Review Section's current instructions.
