Not in Texas? Injunction bonds in other states
Texas injunction & TRO bonds.
Quote on review.
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.

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:
Send us the file
Apply online with the order fixing the bond, the parties, and the sum the judge set. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the application and the amount you expect.
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.
Execute & file
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.
How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
Execute & file. 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.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
The application takes about ten minutes.
