What Does the Texas Dealer Bond Cover?
The $50,000 GDN bond protects consumers and TxDMV from losses caused by dealer misconduct, including: odometer fraud, title washing, failure to remit sales tax, selling vehicles without proper title, and misrepresentation. Consumers who suffer losses from a dealer may file a claim against the dealer's bond.
