Texas TRO bonds.
Quote on review.
A Texas TRO is emergency relief — and it does not take effect until your bond is on file. The bond protects the party you are restraining if the order is later dissolved. The judge fixes the sum in the order granting the TRO — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Trusted by industry leaders
Built for a fourteen-day order.
A TRO granted without notice expires by its own terms within fourteen days, and it cannot issue at all until the bond is filed. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the order granting the TRO, the parties, and the sum the judge fixed. If the order is not signed yet, send the verified petition and the amount you expect the court to set.
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 payable to the adverse party with the power of attorney attached, ready for the clerk to approve and file so the restraining order can issue.
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 a TRO needs security first
A temporary restraining order is emergency relief. Under Rule 680 it can be granted without notice to the other side when a sworn petition or affidavit shows immediate and irreparable injury before notice can be served and a hearing had — which means someone is restrained before they have been heard.
That is why Rule 684 puts the applicant on the hook first. The TRO bond is filed with the clerk before the order issues, runs to the adverse party, and guarantees you will abide the court’s decision and pay any sums of money and costs adjudged against you if the order is dissolved in whole or in part.
The order itself is short-lived: a TRO granted without notice expires within the time the court fixes, not to exceed fourteen days, and can be extended for a like period for good cause shown, or for a longer period if the restrained party consents — with no more than one extension unless later ones are unopposed. Because the surety stands behind the full sum, a large penal amount can require collateral and financials, and we tell you what your file needs before you commit.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
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 payable to the adverse party with the power of attorney attached, ready for the clerk to approve and file so the restraining order can issue.
What sets the price
This bond is underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
