Peace Officer Bond

Law enforcement officers are required in the State of Texas to post Peace Officer bonds in order to protect those who may be harmed by a law enforcement officer’s wrongful acts. Officers of the law have certain civic duties that require a higher level of protection for citizens, and these bonds ensure accountability. Claimants are entitled to collect damages against the bond. The cost of the bond will depend on a number of factors, including the applicant’s county or city, their specific position, their personal credit score, and other factors.
