@jip31 it is not clear from your question as to where (which tag) you want apply Bold Red text formatting? Is it for Dashboard Label or Description?

If it is for Dashboard Description <description> (PS: Following is tested on Splunk 7.2. If you are on previous version of Splunk and the following CSS does not work then CSS selector may need some change which you can do via Browser Inspector Tool. Refer to one of my older answers to play around with Browser Inspector Tool: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/590387/how-do-i-update-panel-color-in-splunk-using-css-1.html):

 <form>
   <label>Drivers</label>
   <description>Drivers health checking - Slot time : 30 days</description>
   ....
    <row depends="$alwaysHideCSSPanel$">
       <panel>
           <html>
               <style>
                   .dashboard-header p.description {
                       font-weight: bold;
                       color: red;
                       padding-top: 20px;
                   }
               </style>
           </html>
        </panel>
    </row>
