Re: Whether a bail bond board may consider an individual bail bond surety's former license in determining the applicable bail bond limit under section 1704.203(f) of the Occupations Code (RQ-0315-GA)

S U M M A R Y

A bail bond board may not consider an individual bail bond surety's former license or a license issued by a bail bond board in another county in determining the applicable bail bond limit under section 1704.203(f) of the Occupations Code. The number of years a person held a former license may not be used to determine when the person's current license expires under section 1704.162.
