Filing the Texas Polygraph Examiner Bond

To purchase the Polygraph Examiner Bond, you just need to fill out the required information for completing the bond form. Once your payment has been processed, Jet will email your receipt and a digital copy of your bond.

You will receive the original copy of the Polygraph Examiner Bond via mail. You must sign the form and send it to this address:

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation
Polygraph Examiners
PO Box 12157
Austin, TX 78711

Does the Polygraph Examiner Bond Need to Be Renewed?

Yes, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires polygraph examiners to have an active bond for the entire license period. That means that whenever your bond term is ending, you will need to renew it if you plan on continuing with your Polygraph Examiner License.

Jet makes it easy to renew: just fill out the renewal form that is sent through the mail or click the link in the emailed notice. Once you have picked your new term and paid for it, Jet will take care of the rest. If you are paying monthly, nothing is needed on your part to renew—the continuous month-to-month payments keep your bond active!

Can I Cancel My Texas Polygraph Examiner Bond?

Yes, just send Jet an email to [email protected] to get the cancellation process started. The TDLR needs a 30-day notice before cancelling the bond so our team will send notice right away. The bond is still active during this time, so monthly payments will continue to be processed and annual terms will continue to count this period towards the time used. 

After the 30 days are up, the bond will be fully cancelled. Monthly payments will end and annual terms will receive a prorated refund for the unused time on the bond. 

How Does a Tester Avoid Polygraph Examiner Bond Claims?

The Polygraph Examiner Bond is generally used to make sure that you are honorably and legally conducting the lie detector tests, polygraphs, deceptographs, or other devices used to check for deception. Any violation of the Polygraph Examiners Act or Title 16, Chapter 88 of the Texas Administrative Code or other applicable regulations can lead to a bond claim. 

So, what are the specific actions that could result in a bond claim? Here’s a non-comprehensive list of examples: 

If you receive a claim against your bond, get in touch with Jet as soon as possible. We will investigate whether the claim is legitimate or not. If it is, we will have to pay out the amount of the claim, not going above the $5,000 limit. Claims can be submitted up to the two (2) year anniversary of the end of the bond, as long as the violation occurred while the bond was active.
