🚘 Texas auto dealers - whether you’re just getting started or already running an established dealership, understanding your bond requirement is important.

The Texas Auto Dealer Bond is a key part of staying compliant with TxDMV rules, and it’s something many dealers revisit when renewing, expanding, changing ownership, or opening in a new county.

Here’s a quick overview:
🔹 Who needs it? Anyone who buys, sells, or exchanges motor vehicles in Texas
🔹 Bond amount: $50,000 per county where you operate
🔹 Bond term: 2 years
🔹 Rates: Often start around $500 for the full two-year term, depending on credit and financial profile

This applies to:
✔️ Independent dealers (with a GDN)
✔️ Wholesale dealers
✔️ Motorcycle dealers
✔️ Used vehicle dealers
✔️ Consignment and exchange dealers

A few common questions:

Do online or home-based Texas dealers still need a bond?
Yes - if you’re required to hold a GDN, you’ll still need the bond.

Do you need a separate bond for each location?
If you operate in multiple counties, each county requires its own bond.

Can a bond be transferred to a new owner or business?
No - Texas dealer bonds are tied to a specific business entity and license holder.

At Bryant Surety Bonds, we help both new and established dealers understand the requirements and secure the right bond.

2026 is coming - are you ready for the new BMC-85 compliance rules?

If your BMC-85 provider isn’t FDIC-insured or can’t meet the updated liquidity and eligibility requirements, you may not be able to renew your trust fund, putting your operating authority at risk.

📌 Next Steps for Freight Brokers:
1️⃣ Review your current BMC-85 provider – Confirm they’re FDIC-insured and meet the 2026 requirements.
2️⃣ Decide on your compliance path:
• Switch to a BMC-84 bond
• Or move to a compliant BMC-85 provider (availability will be limited)
3️⃣ Complete the switch before January 16, 2026, or before your current trust expires.
4️⃣ Cancel your old trust once your new filing is active with FMCSA.
5️⃣ Act early to avoid last-minute delays or gaps in compliance.

While FMCSA acknowledges some brokers may leave the market, these changes strengthen protections for carriers, reduce fraud, and build trust in the industry.

The final key update under the new FMCSA rule involves potential cost increases for maintaining BMC-85 trust funds.

📌 Key change: Stricter trustee and asset requirements may raise costs

Before:
BMC-85 costs varied widely, with some non-bank trustees keeping fees low by using less liquid or higher-risk assets and facing minimal oversight.

What’s new:
From 2026, only federally regulated financial institutions—such as FDIC-insured banks or NCUA-regulated credit unions—can serve as trustees. Assets must be held entirely in cash, U.S. Treasury securities, or FDIC-insured irrevocable letters of credit.
These stricter requirements are expected to increase trustee costs, which may be passed on to brokers.

✅ What you should do now:
• Ask your trustee how the new rules will affect fees and services
• Compare potential BMC-85 costs with BMC-84 bond premiums
• Prepare for possible provider changes before the January 16, 2026 deadline

Plan ahead to maintain compliance without surprises.

12/28/2025

The new FMCSA rule also brings enhanced oversight and enforcement authority to ensure brokers stay compliant.

📌 Key change: FMCSA gains broader oversight powers

Before:
FMCSA’s ability to monitor trust funds and enforce compliance was more limited. Non-compliance reporting by trustees or sureties was not always immediate, and FMCSA had less control over disbursements if a broker became insolvent.

What’s new:
Starting in 2026, FMCSA can:
• Freeze or revoke a broker’s operating authority more broadly
• Require automatic reporting of non-compliance from trustees and sureties
• Take direct control over BMC-85 trust fund disbursements in cases of broker insolvency

✅ What you should do now:
• Keep open communication with your trustee or surety to ensure they meet reporting requirements
• Make sure your FMCSA records and contact information are current to receive notices promptly
• Address any non-compliance issues immediately to avoid enforcement actions

Stay proactive to protect your authority and maintain compliance.

What’s changing for freight brokers using a BMC-85 trust fund? Effective January 16, 2026.

One of the biggest updates under the new FMCSA rule is the eligibility of BMC-85 trustees.

📌 Key change: Only federally regulated financial institutions can serve as trustees

Before:
Loan and finance companies, as well as other non-bank entities, could act as BMC-85 trustees, often with minimal oversight.

What’s new:
FMCSA has removed loan and finance companies from the list of eligible trustees. Going forward, only federally regulated institutions qualify, including:
• FDIC-insured banks
• Federally regulated trust companies
• NCUA-regulated credit unions

FMCSA estimates that over 90% of current BMC-85 providers will no longer qualify, meaning many brokers will need a new trustee or consider a BMC-84 bond to remain compliant.

✅ What you should do now:
• Verify whether your current trustee meets the new federal eligibility standards
• If not, plan your transition before the January 16, 2026 compliance deadline

Stay ahead of the changes and protect your operating authority.

12/26/2025

Another major change under the new FMCSA rule involves stricter asset requirements for BMC-85 trust funds.

📌 Key change: Only highly liquid assets now qualify

Before:
Trust fund assets could include less liquid holdings, like accounts receivable or personal loans, which could take weeks or months to convert to cash for paying claims.

What’s new:
Starting in 2026, trust fund assets must be convertible to cash within 7 calendar days and held only in:
• FDIC-insured irrevocable letters of credit
• Cash or cash equivalents
• U.S. Treasury securities

Non-liquid assets such as accounts receivable or personal loans will no longer qualify. This ensures funds are immediately available to pay valid claims.

✅ What you should do now:
• Review your current trust fund asset composition
• Replace any non-qualifying assets with approved, 7-day liquid instruments
• Complete these changes before the January 16, 2026 deadline

Stay ahead of compliance and protect your operating authority.

12/23/2025

One of the most impactful parts of the new FMCSA rule is how non-compliance and suspensions will be handled going forward.

📌 Key change: Defined suspension triggers and a shorter timeline

Before:
If your financial security dropped below $75,000, FMCSA typically allowed up to 30 days to correct the issue, with fewer defined triggers and no standardized response timeline.

What’s new:
Starting in 2026, FMCSA may suspend your operating authority if your available financial security falls below $75,000 due to:
• A trust drawdown
• An ignored claim notice
• A judgment

You’ll have just 7 calendar days from FMCSA notice to replenish funds. (The 30-day period will still apply in certain cancellation scenarios.)

✅ What you should do now:
• Monitor your trust balance closely
• Respond to claim notices immediately
• Be prepared to restore funds within 7 days
• Confirm your provider can report compliance through FMCSA’s URS system

Planning ahead can help you avoid unexpected disruptions to your authority.

12/22/2025

Still unsure how the new FMCSA rule will affect freight brokers using BMC-85 trust funds? You’re not alone.

With major compliance changes taking effect January 16, 2026, it’s important to understand what’s actually changing - and how it could impact your operating authority.

📌 Here are the 5 key provisions of the new FMCSA rule:
1️⃣ Suspension for non-compliance now has defined triggers and a 7-day replenishment period
2️⃣ Stricter asset requirements for BMC-85 trust funds
3️⃣ New eligibility standards for BMC-85 trustees
4️⃣ Enhanced FMCSA oversight and enforcement
5️⃣ Potential cost increases for maintaining a BMC-85 trust
