(2) be in an amount determined by the commissioners court to be adequate to ensure proper construction of the roads and streets in and drainage requirements for the subdivision, but not to exceed the estimated cost of construction of the roads, streets, and drainage requirements;
(3) be executed with sureties as may be approved by the court;
(4) be executed by a company authorized to do business as a surety in this state if the court requires a surety bond executed by a corporate surety; and
