Texas License Plates and License Registration Receipts Bond

Texas License Plates and License Registration Receipts Bond

Claims Activity for the Texas License Plates and License Registrations Receipts Bond

The purpose of the bond is to ensure that the Tax Assessor will receive due fees for licensing and title registrations and that license registration receipts (that haven’t been used or issued) will be delivered to the Tax Assessor when demanded. Since a subcontractor, such as an authorized grocery store, is simply aiding in the transaction of registration services, it is important that any licensing payments will be passed along to the Tax Assessor’s Office. The Tax Assessor may need to pull the unused registration receipts (for example, if a subcontractor is no longer authorized) and all receipts must be delivered and accounted for; any remaining receipts can be compromised and used illegally. 

It is for these reasons that the bond is required; if the payments are not completed and registration receipts are not properly delivered, the bond can be used for claims activity where an injured party can seek reimbursement.
