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.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
