Travis County, TX — Right Of Way / Street Cut Permit Bond
Travis County's published utility ROW guidance distinguishes a small cut's $5,000 restoration security from larger work whose amount the county sets after application. Confirm the current TNR instructions before issuance: the permit page is labeled Expired and its linked bond is an older example.

What this bond does
Addresses requested Travis County utility ROW/street-cut restoration security, with the current project requirement and accepted form confirmed by TNR.
- Who needs it
- Applicants for covered county ROW utility work outside corporate city limits, rather than assuming an Austin city bond satisfies the county request.
- Who it protects
- The published requirement concerns restoration/security for the covered cut and applicable permit duties. The older sample names Travis County as obligee; it is not general payment security for every construction contract.

Questions about this bond
Should I buy $5,000 security for every cut?
No. The published instructions distinguish the stated small-cut limits from larger projects, which should be submitted for county amount determination before bonding.
Should I use the old example's dates and surety name?
No. Its filled 2003–2004 details are examples, not this offering's terms. Obtain TNR's current required instrument.
Does use of Austin restoration standards make Austin the recipient?
No. The published bond requirement names Travis County. Jurisdiction, recipient and construction standards are different details to confirm.
