File your appeal without the judgment being executed against you.
A supersedeas bond stays collection while the appeal is pending.
New Mexico sets the penal sum — for a money judgment, double the amount of the judgment — and we underwrite it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















Execution can begin shortly after a money judgment is entered, and the statute gives you sixty days from entry to perfect the stay — so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:
Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the penal sum the statute requires.
A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond for approval by the clerk of the district court, with the power of attorney attached, ready to file and stay execution.
An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment and costs get paid. That is why, for a money judgment, New Mexico sets the penal sum at double the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.
Because the surety is on the hook for that amount, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
These are the actual underwriting fields — the judgment, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist reviews everything together and returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.
