How it works

Built for the hearing date.

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

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the order setting the security, the parties, and the sum the court deemed proper. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

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.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the required form with the surety’s address shown and 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 temporary injunction or TRO freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so Tennessee 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. The surety also submits to the court’s jurisdiction — its liability can be enforced on motion, without a separate suit — and we flag what a given file needs before you apply.

Tennessee RuleTenn. R. Civ. P. 65.05 provides that, except in actions brought on a pauper’s oath, no restraining order or temporary injunction shall be granted except upon the giving of a bond by the applicant, with surety in such sum as the court deems proper, for the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by any person who is found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined. The surety submits to the jurisdiction of the court and its liability may be enforced on motion. A restrained or enjoined party may move for additional security if the bond is insufficient.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Tennessee injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will enter a TRO or temporary injunction. Under Tenn. R. Civ. P. 65.05, no restraining order or temporary injunction is granted except on the giving of a bond, with surety, in such sum as the court deems proper to pay the costs and damages of a party found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined.
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 65.05 leaves the sum 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? +
Rule 65.05 carves out actions brought on a pauper’s oath, and courts retain discretion over the sum. A restrained party can also move for additional security if the bond proves insufficient. 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.
