About this file
This is a Payment Bond form required by the Texas Department of Insurance for contracts with Harris County, Texas, specifically related to construction projects governed by Texas Government Code 2253.001 et seq. The bond serves as a guarantee that the principal contractor will pay all claimants, including subcontractors and suppliers of labor and materials, engaged in the performance of a written contract with Harris County. The document is a template form with blank fields to be completed with information about the principal (contractor), the surety (bonding company), bond amount, contract details, execution dates, and authorized representatives. The bond becomes void upon full payment to all claimants; otherwise, it remains in full force and effect.
The bond amount and specific contract details, including the job description and contract date, are to be inserted by the parties executing the document. The surety must be a corporation authorized to conduct indemnifying business in Texas with a registered agent in the state to accept service of legal proceedings. Acceptance and approval by Harris County is required through a designated agency representative. This bond protects the county and all workers and material suppliers by ensuring payment obligations are met regardless of the contractor's financial condition, and it is a standard requirement for construction projects funded through mechanisms such as CDBG-DR (Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery) administered by the Texas General Land Office.
