Texas TABC Conduct Surety Bond / Private Club Malt Beverage and Wine Permit (NB)
Overview
Texas private clubs that want to sell malt beverages and wine must post a Conduct Surety Bond with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) as a condition of obtaining the Private Club Malt Beverage and Wine Permit (NB). This bond holds the permit holder accountable for operating in compliance with Texas alcoholic beverage laws — protecting the public and the state against violations tied to club conduct. Without it, TABC will not issue or maintain the permit.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you operate or plan to operate a private club in Texas and want to serve malt beverages and wine to members under a TABC NB permit, this bond is required. That includes organizations such as fraternal clubs, social clubs, and membership-based establishments that fall under TABC's private club classification. You are the principal on this bond, and TABC is the obligee.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your private club will follow all conduct requirements tied to the NB permit under Texas alcoholic beverage law. If your club violates those requirements — resulting in fines, penalties, or harm covered by the bond — the bond provides a financial remedy. It is not insurance for your business; it is a compliance guarantee that runs in favor of TABC and the state of Texas.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your TABC Private Club Malt Beverage and Wine Permit means your bond must remain active and in good standing throughout the permit term. If your bond lapses before you renew your permit, TABC can suspend or revoke your permit authority. Secure or renew this bond before your permit renewal deadline to avoid any interruption in your club's legal authority to serve.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Texas requirement administered by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. It applies wherever your private club holds or seeks to hold a TABC NB permit within the state of Texas. There is no city- or county-specific version of this requirement — TABC governs it uniformly across Texas.
