Before a Tennessee court grants a restraining order or temporary injunction, Rule 65.05 requires the applicant to post a bond for the costs and damages of anyone wrongfully restrained. The judge sets the amount — we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Restraining orders are time-sensitive, and we know it. Here's the whole process:
The court, county, case index number, defendants, and the bond amount the judge ordered — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. That is the entire application.
We know these are urgent. Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, an underwriter reaches you fast. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.

Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the court ordered and the premium updates.
When you ask a Tennessee court to restrain or enjoin someone, the court can't be sure yet that you're right. Rule 65.05 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure protects the other side: no restraining order or temporary injunction issues except on a bond for the costs and damages suffered by anyone later found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined.
The court sets the amount — the rule says 'in such sum as the court deems proper.' You read that figure off your order and we issue the bond for it. The surety's address appears on the bond, and by signing the surety submits to the court's jurisdiction, so the bond's liability can be enforced on motion.
If your restraint is later found wrongful and the other party is damaged, they can recover against the bond up to its amount — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is the price of getting urgent relief before the merits are decided. The only common exception is an action brought on a pauper's oath.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including the case details and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. We know court bonds are urgent and prioritize them accordingly.
