Arkansas injunction & TRO bonds.
Post the security the court ordered.
When you ask a court to enjoin someone, the judge can require security first. This bond protects the enjoined party for the costs and damages they suffer if it turns out they were wrongfully restrained. The court sets the amount — we underwrite it and return a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does an Arkansas injunction & TRO bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
Built for the hearing date.
A judge can condition the injunction on security being posted promptly. Here is the whole process:
Tell us the order
Send the amount of security the court set (or expects), the parties, and the court. If the amount is still being argued, give us the range — we can move the moment the judge fixes it.
A specialist underwrites & quotes
A surety specialist reviews the matter and returns a quote with any collateral or financial requirement. Because the bond backs the other side’s potential damages, larger amounts may be collateralized.
Execute & file
We issue the bond on the form your court accepts, with the surety’s power of attorney attached, so it can be filed and the injunction or TRO can take effect.
How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
Why the court wants security first
A preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order is a powerful, pre-trial remedy: it stops the other party from doing something before anyone has won on the merits.
To balance that, a court may require the party seeking the injunction to post security. The bond stands behind the costs and damages the enjoined party suffers if the court later decides the injunction should never have issued.
In Arkansas the security is discretionary — Ark. R. Civ. P. 65(c) lets the trial court decide whether to require it and in what amount, rather than mandating a fixed sum. We size and underwrite to whatever the judge orders.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
Execute & file. We issue the bond on the form your court accepts, with the surety’s power of attorney attached, so it can be filed and the injunction or TRO can take effect.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
