Texas DPS Batch Driver Record Agreement Bond
Overview
Businesses and organizations that need bulk access to Texas driver records through the Department of Public Safety are required to execute a Batch Driver Record Agreement — and that agreement requires a surety bond. This bond guarantees that your organization will use driver record data only as authorized and will comply with all terms of the DPS batch access program. It is a statewide Texas requirement, not a local permit, and it applies anytime a company or employer wants to pull large volumes of driver records at once rather than individual one-at-a-time requests.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your organization has applied to the Texas Department of Public Safety for batch-level access to driver records — and DPS is requiring a surety bond before they finalize your agreement. Employers running fleet operations, background screening companies, insurance carriers, and similar businesses that need to pull driver records in volume are the typical applicants. This is not a bond for someone requesting a single record — it is specifically for entities entering the formal Batch Driver Record Agreement with Texas DPS. If you received that requirement in writing from DPS, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Texas Department of Public Safety and the public against misuse of driver record data obtained through the batch access program. If your organization violates the terms of the Batch Driver Record Agreement — by using data improperly, exceeding authorized access, or otherwise breaching the agreement — the bond provides a financial remedy. It holds your organization accountable for following DPS data-use rules, giving the state a guarantee that compliance is backed by more than a signature.
When is it Required?
Before Texas DPS will activate your Batch Driver Record Agreement, the bond must already be in place. You cannot begin pulling batch driver records until DPS has confirmed your bond is on file and the agreement is fully executed. Attempting to access records before satisfying this requirement puts your entire agreement — and any licenses or contracts that depend on that data — at risk. Get the bond first, then finalize the agreement.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Texas requirement administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It applies to any entity operating in Texas or requesting Texas driver records under a batch access agreement, regardless of where the company itself is headquartered. There is no local or county-level equivalent — this is a DPS program with uniform statewide application.
