The bond is received and approved by the clerk of court who also determines the sufficiency of the surety offered. The clerk has discretion to assess the financial strength of sureties however he or she has no discretion to refuse a <strong>Texas supersedeas bond<\/strong> due to defects in form. \u00a0Ordinarily a corporate surety&#8217;s certificate of authority from the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) or the surety&#8217;s inclusion on the U.S. Treasury&#8217;s list of surety companies qualified to post bonds for federal obligations is sufficient evidence for a clerk to find the surety sufficient. \u00a0The surety bond must be payable to the judgment creditor and guarantee the payment of the aforementioned sums and must be signed by the appellant and agent for the surety. \u00a0Once the Texas supersedeas bond is accepted and filed, the clerk of court cannot thereafter withdraw approval of the bond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texas judicial bond leader<\/strong>,\u00a0<a title=\"Surety One\" href=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Surety One, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0is the most attentive and agile underwriter of supersedeas bonds (<a title=\"Judicial Bonds page\" href=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/judicial-bonds\" target=\"_blank\">appeal bonds<\/a>) in the nation. \u00a0Our in-house authority is UNMATCHED, ANYWHERE.\u00a0Visit us at \u00a0<a title=\"Surety One\" href=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">SuretyOne.com<\/a>, call\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(800) 373-2804<\/span>, or email\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Underwriting@SuretyOne.com<\/span>\u00a0for further information about a\u00a0<strong>Texas supersedeas bond<\/strong>, Texas <strong>appeal bond<\/strong>\u00a0or any other surety need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Texas supersedeas bond\u00a0is the only alternative for a Texas appellant \u00a0if he fails to stay execution of a judgment by motion for injunctive relief from a trial or appellate court in lieu of supersedeas. \u00a0Generally a judgment creditor may&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/blog\/texas-supersedeas-bond\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[102],"tags":[104,2211,51,2210,1202,1204,1201,2209,1203],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.7.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Texas Supersedeas Bond<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Texas supersedeas bond is the only alternative for a Texas appellant if he fails to stay execution of a judgment by other mechanisms of relief.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/blog\/texas-supersedeas-bond\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Texas Supersedeas Bond\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A Texas supersedeas bond is the only alternative for a Texas appellant if he fails to stay execution of a judgment by other mechanisms of relief.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/blog\/texas-supersedeas-bond\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Surety One, Inc.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Surety1\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Surety1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-04-25T04:41:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-04-18T17:12:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/suretyone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/texas_supersedeas_bond.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"934\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@SuretyOne\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@SuretyOne\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"C.
