Sec. 83.008. SURETY BOND ON ASSISTANT TREASURERS, DEPUTIES, AND EMPLOYEES; SELF-INSURANCE. (a) If a county treasurer employs only one assistant or deputy, the county treasurer shall execute a surety bond to cover the assistant or deputy and shall execute a schedule surety bond or a blanket surety bond to cover all other employees of the office. If a county treasurer employs more than one assistant or deputy, the county treasurer shall execute a blanket surety bond to cover the assistants or deputies and all other employees of the office.
(b) Instead of a county treasurer obtaining a bond as required by Subsection (a), the county may self-insure against losses that would have been covered by the bond.
(c) The bond under this section must be conditioned in the same manner and must be for the same amount as the bond for the county treasurer under Section 83.002. The bond must be made payable to the county judge for the use and benefit of the county treasurer.
