Relating to the approval of a surety bond for a contract authorizing an oversize or overweight vehicle to cross a road or highway.

HB 3389 requires contractors operating oversize or overweight vehicles on Texas roads to provide a financial guarantee (surety bond) approved by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). This bond must cover potential costs for road maintenance and repairs caused by the vehicle's operation. Before using such a vehicle, contractors must first contract with TxDOT to cover repair costs and secure this approved bond with a licensed corporate surety. The bill applies only to bonds approved on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote). It directly affects commercial transport companies hauling oversized or heavy loads across Texas highways.
