Questions about this bond
Is a BE performance bond the same instrument?
No. The TABC overview lists conduct and performance bonds separately. Match the bond type specified for your application.
Does this bond include liquor liability insurance?
No. The surety bond secures the obligation described in its form. Liquor liability coverage addresses a different risk and must be arranged separately.
How do I apply through The Southern Agency?
Use Purchase Now for the linked provider application. Check the business name, requested form and recipient before completing it. Once the bond is issued, follow the recipient’s filing directions; licensing approval is a separate step.
