Texas Athlete Agent Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Texas athlete agent and show the state you're financially accountable to the student-athletes and institutions you represent. Texas requires this bond as part of the athlete agent registration process, ensuring agents comply with state law and fulfill their contractual obligations. Without it, you cannot legally register or operate as an athlete agent in Texas.
Who Needs This Bond?
Athlete agents operating in Texas must carry this bond. If you recruit, advise, negotiate contracts for, or represent student-athletes in connection with professional sports contracts or endorsement deals in Texas, this bond applies to you. It is required whether you are an individual agent or operating through an agency, and it must be in place before the state approves your registration.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects student-athletes and educational institutions from financial harm caused by an agent's violations of Texas athlete agent law. If you breach your obligations — such as improperly inducing a student-athlete to sign an agency contract or misrepresenting your services — an injured party can make a claim against your bond. The bond holds you financially accountable for your conduct as a registered agent in Texas.
When is it Required?
Registration with the state of Texas is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before the Texas Secretary of State approves your athlete agent registration application, you must submit proof of this bond. Renewals of your registration also require the bond to remain active and in good standing throughout your registration period.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Texas requirement administered through the Texas Secretary of State's office. It applies to any person seeking or holding a Texas athlete agent registration, regardless of where the agent is physically based, as long as they are representing student-athletes in Texas.
