How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A judge can condition the injunction on security being posted promptly. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

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.

ABOUT 1 BUSINESS DAY

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.

ON APPROVAL

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.

About this bond

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.

Arkansas RuleArk. R. Civ. P. 65(c) governs security for preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders. Unlike federal practice, Arkansas gives the trial court discretion over whether security is required and in what amount; the bond protects the enjoined party for costs and damages from a wrongful injunction.

You need this bond if you’re

A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction or TRO that the court conditions on security
A business enforcing a non-compete, trade-secret, or contract restraint and ordered to post a bond
A property owner enjoining a trespass, nuisance, or construction activity
Counsel who needs the security in place fast so the injunction can take effect

Start with the order and the amount.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the security amount, the parties, the court, and your business. Submit once and a surety specialist responds in about one business day with a quote and any collateral requirement. No charge until the bond is issued.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is an Arkansas injunction bond? +
It is the security a court may require under Ark. R. Civ. P. 65(c) before granting a preliminary injunction or TRO. The bond protects the enjoined party for the costs and damages they suffer if the court later decides the injunction was wrongly issued.
Does Arkansas always require a bond for an injunction? +
No. Unlike the federal rule, Ark. R. Civ. P. 65(c) gives the trial court discretion — the judge decides whether to require security and how much. When the court does require it, this is the bond that satisfies the order.
How much does it cost? +
There is no flat rate. The bond is underwritten individually: premium depends on the penal sum the court set, the underwriting, and any collateral. Tell us the amount and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the amount? +
The judge. The penal sum is whatever the court fixes as adequate to cover the enjoined party’s potential costs and damages. We size, underwrite, and quote the bond to that figure.
Will collateral be required? +
It can be. Because the bond backs the other side’s potential damages, larger amounts are more likely to be collateralized. We tell you whether collateral applies when we quote.
