Texas — County Road And Bridge Bond

Bring the county's written road-and-bridge request before applying. This Texas-wide catalog name does not identify a county, road segment or legal undertaking, and should not be treated as one standard permit for all county roads.

What this bond does

Addresses the county road/bridge obligation identified in the applicant's actual request, once the recipient and instrument are confirmed.

Who needs it
Applicants specifically asked to provide county road-and-bridge security in Texas, with the requesting county and covered activity still to be matched.
Who it protects
The accepted county instrument defines the protected road/bridge interest. The catalog title does not establish public-project payment security, a contractor license or a public official's fidelity obligation.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Identify the county and the reason for security

State the road names, bridges, proposed activity and legal applicant. A road-use request for heavy vehicles differs from a utility crossing or a county construction contract. Ask the requesting office to identify the required bond rather than selecting it solely because the words road and bridge appear in the title.

Use the actual agreement's amount and dates

For example, Polk County's published super-heavy-vehicle agreement identifies the route, operating period and security type/amount to be filled in for that agreement. It addresses road/bridge repair and additional maintenance costs from the specified traffic. That example is not proof that this RLI option matches Polk's request or that its terms apply in every Texas county.

Match the RLI option before issuance

Obtain the county form, exact recipient, amount, dates and principal, then confirm this option can issue that instrument. No fixed amount or term is populated for the offering.

After issuance, follow the requesting county's execution and delivery directions and obtain the applicable road-use or work approval. A statewide product label and provider receipt do not authorize a route or replace separate state-highway permission.

Questions about this bond

Is this one permit covering all Texas county roads?

No such statewide permission is established by the catalog label. Identify the county, road and applicable written request.

Does every county use Polk County's road-use agreement?

No. The cited agreement is a county-specific example with its own route, activity and security fields. Obtain your requesting county's form.

Is a county construction contract automatically covered?

No. A construction performance/payment request may require a different instrument. Confirm the actual obligation against this RLI option before purchase.
