Louisiana injunction bonds.
Post the security, get the order.
A Louisiana court won't issue a TRO or preliminary injunction until you furnish security. The bond indemnifies the party you enjoin for costs and damages if the order was wrongful. These are underwritten — the court fixes the amount and we quote the premium. Apply online and a surety specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does a Louisiana injunction 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.
When a court conditions a TRO or injunction on security, you need the bond in hand before the order can take effect. Here's the entire process:
Tell us about the matter
The application captures the basics — the court, the docket or succession number, the penal sum the court (or the estate) has set, and who the principal is. Send the order, judgment, or inventory if you have it; if not, we ask for it once.
A specialist underwrites it
Court and fiduciary bonds are individually underwritten. A surety specialist reviews the penal sum, the fiduciary, and the file, runs a soft credit check, and returns a quote — usually within one business day. Larger penal sums may call for financials or collateral.
Execute & file
Approve the quote, post any collateral required, and we issue the executed bond on the court's required form with the power of attorney attached. File it with the clerk so the order, appeal, or appointment 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
A temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction forces the other side to stop — or start — doing something before the merits are decided. That is a powerful remedy granted on limited proof.
To balance it, Louisiana requires the applicant to post security so that, if the order turns out to have been wrongful, the enjoined party can be made whole for the costs incurred and damages sustained. The bond is that security.
The court sets the amount based on the potential harm to the enjoined party. Some matters are exempt by law — protective orders for domestic abuse, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault require no security. Tell us the nature of the case and we'll confirm whether a bond is needed.

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. Approve the quote, post any collateral required, and we issue the executed bond on the court's required form with the power of attorney attached. File it with the clerk so the order, appeal, or appointment 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.
You pay nothing until you approve the price.
