Consumer Protection Through Texas CSO Compliance
At Rock Solid Credit Counseling, transparency and accountability are central to how we operate. As a registered Texas Credit Services Organization (CSO), we follow state requirements designed to promote ethical, compliant credit services and informed consumer decision-making.
As part of these requirements, we maintain a Texas CSO Surety Bond on file with the Texas Secretary of State. This bond exists to ensure compliance with applicable law and to provide a formal avenue of recourse in the event of a violation — it does not guarantee outcomes or results.
What Is a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is a legal requirement for Credit Services Organizations operating in the State of Texas. It serves as a form of financial accountability and helps ensure that companies comply with applicable Texas laws governing credit services.
For consumers, the bond exists to provide a formal avenue of recourse if a credit services organization violates state law. It does not guarantee outcomes, results, or specific consumer protection, and it is not insurance.
The Texas CSO surety bond is intended to promote lawful business practices, transparency, and accountability within the credit services industry.

This requirement does not guarantee outcomes or results, nor does it imply state approval or endorsement of any business. Instead, it exists to help ensure that credit services organizations operate within the boundaries of Texas law.
