LA TRO / injunction bonds.
The amount the judge set.
When a Louisiana court grants a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, it almost always requires the applicant to furnish security in an amount the court fixes — to indemnify the other party if the order turns out to be wrongful. This bond is individually underwritten: the court sets the penal sum, and we size, underwrite, and quote it. A specialist returns your quote within one business day.

Three steps to filed.
A TRO is time-sensitive — here's the entire process, built to move at the speed of a court deadline:
Request a quote
Your details, the court and case, and the security amount the judge fixed — that is the request. A specialist underwrites it and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Underwritten & quoted
Court-ordered security is time-sensitive, so we prioritize these. A specialist sizes and underwrites the bond against the court-set penal sum; collateral or financials may be required on larger amounts.
File with the clerk of court
Once the quote is accepted and underwriting clears, receive the executed bond ready to file with the clerk so the restraining order or injunction can take effect. Wet-ink originals mailed or couriered when the court insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the TRO bond actually does
Under Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure article 3610, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction shall not issue unless the applicant furnishes security in an amount the court fixes — except where security is dispensed with by law. The security is the price of getting a court to restrain someone before the merits are decided.
The bond indemnifies the party wrongfully restrained or enjoined for the costs incurred and damages sustained if it later turns out the order should not have issued. It runs in favor of the restrained party, not the court, and protects them against the harm of an order that was granted in error.
There is no statutory dollar figure — the judge sets the amount in the order, based on the potential harm to the restrained party. By law, security is not required when the applicant seeks protection from domestic abuse, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault. Because the penal sum is set by the court rather than a flat schedule, this bond is individually underwritten: we size and underwrite whatever amount the court fixed and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day. Collateral or financials may be required on larger penal sums.
