Dealers of gold, silver, and jewelry/coins that are made from precious metals are expected to comply with all regulations set in Chapter 26, Division 3 of the Wichita Falls, Texas Code of Ordinances. If the licensee commits a deceptive business practice such as misrepresentation or fraud, the permittee could face the suspension or revocation of their license, criminal penalties, and/or a bond claim. For example, selling a precious metals item that has had the manufacturer’s identification number or brand name removed is considered a false representation of the product and is subject to civil penalties.

Any damaged purchaser may submit an official complaint with the City of Wichita Falls. For complaints that are found to be valid by the Permit Board, the City can choose to either file a claim on the Precious Metals Dealer Bond on behalf of the claimant or may recommend the damaged party to take civil action themselves. As for claims that are found to valid, the surety bond will act as restitution for losses incurred by the harmed purchaser.

Your permit with the City Clerk’s Office and the Precious Metals Dealer Bond expires on December 31st each year. To be eligible for a renewed permit, the surety bond must be renewed.

If you are part of Jet’s monthly plan, you won’t have to worry about renewing your bond! Your Precious Metals Bond will remain active as long as payments are made. As for those who purchase the bond in full and upfront, the Jet team will send you a renewal invoice prior to your bond term expiration date by mail and email. Just fulfill the standard payment due and your bond will stay active with the City of Wichita Falls for another term.
