How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a restraining order or preliminary injunction usually sets the security at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the order can take effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A preliminary injunction or restraining order freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so New Mexico requires the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s costs and damages get paid if the injunction is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. The court sets the sum it deems proper for that risk, in its discretion.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. Rule 1-066 also lets a court waive security for good cause recited in the order — and New Mexico courts have held that without an injunction bond a district court can lose the basis to award the enjoined party its fees. We flag what applies before you apply.

New Mexico RuleRule 1-066 NMRA (Injunctions and Receivers) provides that no restraining order, preliminary injunction, or appointment of a receiver shall issue or occur except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the court deems proper, for the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by any party who is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained, provided that for good cause shown and recited in the order the court may waive the furnishing of security. No preliminary injunction shall issue, nor any receiver be appointed, without notice to the opposite party.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a New Mexico injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will enter a restraining order or preliminary injunction. Under Rule 1-066 NMRA, no such order issues except on the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the court deems proper, to pay the costs and damages of a party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the sum it deems proper to protect the enjoined party. A surety specialist then reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The court does. Rule 1-066 NMRA leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the costs and damages the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later dissolved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Are there cases where no bond is required? +
Yes. Rule 1-066 lets a court waive the furnishing of security for good cause shown and recited in the order. The amount otherwise rests in the court’s discretion. We flag what applies before you apply.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the order can take effect.
