Missouri injunction bonds.
The security the court asks for first.

Before a Missouri court issues a TRO or preliminary injunction, the moving party usually has to post a bond.
Under Rule 92.02, it protects the enjoined party if the injunction is later dissolved.
The judge sets the amount — so the bond is underwritten, not flat-rated.
Tell us the amount the court named and a specialist quotes it, usually within one business day.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court wants a bond first

An injunction or TRO is a powerful order — it stops someone from doing something before the case is decided. If the court later finds the order should never have issued, the enjoined party may have been harmed in the meantime. The injunction bond is how that harm gets paid.

Under Missouri Rule 92.02, no injunction or temporary restraining order issues without security, except in suits the state brings on its own behalf. The bond is conditioned on the movant abiding by the court’s decision and paying the damages and costs adjudged if the order is dissolved.

The judge fixes the amount the court deems sufficient to cover the enjoined party’s potential damages. Because that figure varies case by case, the bond is individually underwritten — there is no flat rate and no instant issue.

Missouri RuleMissouri Rule of Civil Procedure 92.02 requires security before a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction issues, in an amount the court deems sufficient, conditioned to pay the damages and costs adjudged if the order is later dissolved.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Missouri injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before issuing a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. Under Rule 92.02 it protects the enjoined party: if the order is later dissolved, the bond pays the damages and costs the court adjudges. The state, suing on its own behalf, is exempt.
How much does it cost? +
There is no flat rate. The court sets the penal sum it deems sufficient, and the premium is underwritten to that amount and the matter. Tell us the figure the judge named and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The court. Under Rule 92.02 the judge fixes the amount deemed sufficient to secure the enjoined party against the damages a wrongful injunction might cause. We underwrite to whatever figure the court sets.
A TRO is pending — how fast can you move? +
Fast. When an order is waiting on the bond we prioritize it and can often quote the same day or the next business morning. Larger penal sums may add a step for collateral or financials, which we flag immediately.
Will collateral be required? +
Sometimes, depending on the size of the bond and the principal’s profile. Smaller injunction bonds frequently issue on credit alone; larger figures may call for collateral. We tell you up front, not after you apply.
