Texas Title Attorney Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Texas Title Attorney and meet the state's licensing requirements before you handle a single real estate closing. This bond puts the state and your clients on notice that you stand behind your work and your legal obligations. It's a condition of your authorization to practice as a title attorney in Texas — not optional, not deferrable.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are an attorney in Texas who performs title examination, issues title commitments, or closes real estate transactions under a title insurance license, this bond is required before you can operate legally in that capacity. It applies to you specifically as a licensed title attorney — not to general practice attorneys, not to title companies, and not to escrow agents working outside of this classification.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the obligee — the state of Texas and the public — against financial harm caused by a title attorney who fails to perform their duties honestly and in compliance with applicable requirements. If you mishandle funds, fail to clear a lien, or otherwise breach your obligations in a title transaction, an affected party has recourse through this bond. It holds you accountable to a financial standard beyond just your professional license.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your title attorney authorization in Texas means keeping this bond continuously active — a lapse can interrupt your ability to close transactions or issue title commitments. You'll need this bond in place at the time of your initial application and must maintain it for as long as you operate in this licensed capacity in Texas. Don't wait until your authorization is up for review to confirm your bond is current.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Texas requirement and applies wherever you conduct title attorney work within the state. There is no county-specific filing or local jurisdiction overlay — your bond covers your Texas-licensed title attorney activity across all Texas real estate transactions.
