You can specify a function as a symbol property for the variable.  The
function is supposed to check if the values given to the variable have
the correct type.  Since you didn't write which kind of values are
supposed to be assigned to the variable, it is not possible to give a
specific advice.

I'd also be interested in knowing which package or code uses the
variable before giving you a means to shoot yourself in the foot.
