Fidelity Bonding Program
Texas Workforce Commission
Free fidelity bonds that help employers hire eligible job seekers whose backgrounds may make commercial bonding difficult.
How to get help
A job seeker or employer requests fidelity-bonding assistance through a Texas Workforce Solutions office. The State Bonding Coordinator may also be contacted by email.
Who this service helps
