Overview
Texas requires anyone applying for a Wine Only Package Store Permit (Q) through the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to secure a Conduct Surety Bond before that permit is issued.

It protects the state and the public against violations tied to the sale of wine from a licensed package store location. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get this bond online — no agent callback required.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've applied for — or are about to apply for — a Wine Only Package Store Permit (Q) from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. This bond is required by TABC from any individual, partnership, or business entity seeking to sell wine directly to consumers from a retail package store location in Texas. If you're opening a standalone wine shop, a wine-focused retail outlet, or any store operating under the Q permit classification, this is your bond. Without it, TABC will not issue your permit.
What is this Bond For?
This bond holds the permit holder accountable for lawful conduct under the terms of a Wine Only Package Store Permit in Texas. TABC uses it as a financial guarantee that you will follow all applicable rules governing wine sales, including age verification, hours of sale, and compliance with permit conditions. If you violate those conditions in ways that cause harm, a valid claim can be filed against the bond. It is not insurance for your business — it is a compliance guarantee made to the state of Texas.
When is it Required?
Before TABC will issue your Wine Only Package Store Permit (Q), this bond must already be in place and submitted as part of your application package. There is no grace period and no provisional permit while you arrange coverage. The bond requirement applies at the initial permit stage and must remain in force for the life of the permit. If you let the bond lapse, your permit authorization is at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Texas requirement administered by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. It applies to any business location in Texas operating under the Wine Only Package Store Permit (Q) classification. There is no local jurisdiction variation — TABC sets the requirement uniformly across the state.
