Texas injunction & TRO bonds.
We size, underwrite & quote it.

A Texas court won’t issue your TRO or temporary injunction until you post a bond. The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the order is later dissolved. The judge fixes the sum — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a TRO or temporary injunction fixes the bond in the same order and gives you a short window to post it before the order issues. 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 judge — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file with the clerk before the order takes effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A temporary injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that order later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so Texas requires the applicant to put up a bond first.

The injunction bond guarantees that the applicant will abide the court’s decision and pay the enjoined party’s damages and costs if the order is dissolved. The judge fixes the sum it considers adequate for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large bond can require collateral and financials. Some matters — including certain proceedings by the State — are exempt from the bond requirement, and we flag those before you apply.

Texas RuleTexas Rule of Civil Procedure 684 provides that in the order granting any temporary restraining order or temporary injunction, the court shall fix the amount of security to be given by the applicant. Before issuance of the order, the applicant must execute and file with the clerk a bond to the adverse party, with two or more good and sufficient sureties, in the sum fixed by the judge, conditioned that the applicant will abide the decision made in the cause and pay all sums of money and costs adjudged against it if the order is dissolved in whole or in part.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Texas injunction or TRO bond?It is the bond a court requires before it will issue a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction. Under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 684, the order fixes the amount of security, and the applicant must file a bond in that sum, conditioned to pay the enjoined party’s damages and costs if the order is dissolved.

How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The judge fixes the penal sum — the amount it sets 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 684 leaves the amount to the judge’s discretion, sized to the damages and costs the enjoined party could suffer if the order is later dissolved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.

Are there cases where no bond is required?There are limited exceptions — for example, certain proceedings brought by the State of Texas and some statutory exemptions. The general rule under Rule 684 is that a bond is required before the order issues. We flag any exception that 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 before the order takes effect.
