The TX Department of Insurance requires reinsurance brokers to obtain a Texas reinsurance intermediary bond for $100,000, or, $250,000. AmeriPro Surety Bonds provides both bonds as needed: 844-589-9732.
Reinsurance is the process whereby insurance companies share risk with other insurance companies by purchasing policies which would limit any one insurance company’s financial exposure in case of loss.
Qualifying for either the $100,000 or $250,000 Texas reinsurance intermediary bond involves completion of an application --- which we'll begin with you when you call us --- and a review by an underwriter. Before submission of an application, we'll need you to complete the application and sign it.
The application review includes a credit inquiry. To qualify through our agency good credit will be required and the approval is 1%, $1000 or $2500 of the bond amount required.
Once approval is granted and the premium is paid, our agency issues your surety bond to you. Thereafter, your surety bond, along with a Power of Attorney (POA) form are mailed to you. Upon receipt, you'll sign your bond as Principal, filing it along with the POA to:
