W.D. Tex. Standing Order

United States District Court Western District of Texas List of Surety Corporations not incorporated in the State of Texas who have filed a Power of Attorney at each Division of the Western District of Texas designating an Agent for service of process who resides in this District pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 9306 (LAST UPDATED 05/30/2025) NOTE: A surety corporation that wishes to provide federal bonds must comply with requirements of 31 U.S.C. § 9304. A list of corporations who are currently approved by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to provide federal bonds may be found here: Surety Bonds - Circular 570 (treasury.gov). WARNING: A surety corporation who has filed a power of attorney in this court may lose their status as an approved surety corporation with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Therefore, this list is not an indicator of a corporation’s status with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. ALWAYS CHECK THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT LIST FIRST. Furthermore, THIS LIST IS NOT COMPREHENSIVE OF THE CORPORATIONS OR REGISTERED AGENTS THAT MAY PROVIDE SURETY IN THIS COURT. In accordance with 31 U.S.C. § 9306, a corporation that is approved by the U.S. Department of Treasury that is acting inside the state under whose laws it was incorporated is NOT required to file a power of attorney designating an agent for service of process. Therefore, this list does not contain the name of any corporation incorporated in the State of Texas that is currently approved by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to provide surety in this district. Additionally, this list shows the name of the registered agent for the most recent power of attorney on file. Prior power of attorney documents may exist for a company that have not been revoked. Contact the clerk if you have questions. NOTE: Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 9306(c)(1), if a resident agent is removed, resigns, dies or becomes disabled, the surety corporation shall appoint another agent. The appointment of an additional or new agent requires that a new power of attorney is filed.
