Texas Public Weigher Bond Details

A Texas Public Weigher is a person appointed or elected to issue official certificates declaring the accurate weight or measure of commodities. Here are the key requirements and responsibilities:

Appointment and Election

  • Appointment: The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) may appoint public weighers of two classifications: appointed county public weighers and state public weighers. Appointed public weighers serve for a term of two years, while elected public weighers serve for four years[1].
  • Election: The commissioners court of a county may provide for the election of a public weigher to serve within the county. The elected public weigher must obtain a certificate of authority and execute a bond before issuing official certificates[1].

Bond and Certificate of Authority

  • Bond: Public weighers must obtain a bond in the amount of $10,000, made payable to the State of Texas, and submit it with the application for a Certificate of Authority. The bond is required for the duration of the two-year license[2].
  • Certificate of Authority: Public weighers must obtain a Certificate of Authority from the TDA before weighing any commodities. The application for this certificate includes a bond and other necessary documents[2].

Duties and Record Keeping

  • Recording of Weights and Measures: Public weighers must retain a copy of each certificate issued in a well-bound book. The department and members of the general public may inspect the record on request[3][1].
  • Supervision and Enforcement: The TDA supervises public weighers and adopts rules to enforce this subchapter. The department may review the weight or measure of a commodity certified by a public weigher and require it to be reweighed or remeasured if necessary[1].

Vehicle Weighing and Enforcement

  • Vehicle Weighing: Vehicles must be weighed by a public weigher to ensure compliance with weight limitations. Weight enforcement officers, including highway patrol officers and municipal police officers, are authorized to enforce weight limitations on state-maintained public highways and at ports-of-entry[4].

Fees and Payment

  • License Fee: The fee for a Public Weigher license is $500, and the license is valid for two years. The license cannot be renewed; a new application must be submitted two weeks prior to the expiration of the current license[2].

These requirements ensure that public weighers operate with integrity and accuracy, maintaining the integrity of weight and measure standards in Texas.
