Texas Telephone Solicitation Bond (also referred to as a Texas Telemarketing Bond) is a surety bond required by the State of Texas to protect customers from fraudulent or deceptive business practices by telemarketers who make calls to Texas consumers. The bond guarantees that telemarketers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the Texas Occupations Code, Texas Finance Code, and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The bond also ensures that telemarketers will not misrepresent services, goods, or products and will not violate any state or federal law or regulation pertaining to the telemarketing industry. There are two types of Texas Telephone Solicitation Bond: a $50,000 bond for businesses with fewer than five employees, and a $100,000 bond for businesses with five or more employees.
