What this bond does
Secures the covered Waller County ROW activity under the applicable project or perpetual form, rather than a general contractor-license undertaking.
- Who needs it
- Applicants conducting covered cable, conduit or pole-line work, and applicants whose project performance form covers authorized commercial driveway or median work.
- Who it protects
- The county forms require faithful performance of the covered activity and reimbursement of county losses/damages from the principal's failure or default, payable to the County Judge or successors in office.

Questions about this bond
Is the project bond always $5,000?
No. The guidelines require $5,000 or 25% of total project cost, whichever is greater.
Does perpetual security automatically cover every kind of ROW work?
Do not assume so. The published perpetual example describes cable/conduit/pole-line activity, while the project example also identifies authorized commercial driveway/median work.
Is an online application enough without the original bond?
The guidelines expressly require an original bond with the permit application and separate Commissioners Court approval. Confirm current original-document delivery arrangements.
