Tex. Local Gov't Code Section 116.085
Solvency of Personal Surety

(a)

At least twice each year while a personal bond securing the county’s deposits is in effect, the commissioners court shall investigate the solvency of each surety on the bond. The commissioners court may require the surety to make an itemized and verified financial statement correctly showing the surety’s financial position and, if the bond requires the surety to own real property, identifying each tract of real property owned by the surety and stating its value.

(b)

The commissioners court shall require a depository to provide a new bond meeting the requirements of this chapter if a financial statement provided under Subsection (a) indicates that:

(1)

a surety is insolvent;

(2)

a surety’s net worth is less than the amount required by this chapter;

(3)

the assets listed on the statement are depreciated or their value is in any way impaired; or

(4)

real property required by the bond has been disposed of or encumbered and the value of the surety’s remaining unencumbered and nonexempt real property is inadequate to meet the requirements of this chapter.
Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 149, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1987.
