Tex. Labor Code § 213.051

(a) After a judgment is entered against an employer for a contribution, a penalty, or interest or an assessment against an employer under this chapter is final and execution returned unsatisfied, an employer liable for the unpaid judgment or final assessment may not employ an individual in this state until the employer furnishes a surety bond.

(b) The amount of the bond may not exceed twice the amount due at the time the bond is furnished plus contributions estimated by the commission to become due from the employer during the succeeding calendar year. The bond must be conditioned on payment of the contribution, penalty, interest, and court costs due from the employer not later than January 30 of the succeeding calendar year. The bond must be approved by the commission.

(c) If the employer does not furnish the bond or pay the contribution, penalty, and interest due, the commission may apply to the court that entered the judgment for an injunction to prohibit the employer from employing a person in this state without first furnishing a bond as required by this section. After reasonable notice of not less than 10 days by the court, the court may grant a temporary injunction. The temporary injunction may be made permanent on final hearing and remains in effect until the requirements of this chapter are satisfied.
