TX writ of attachment bonds.
Underwritten. The court sets the amount.

To seize a defendant’s property before judgment, a Texas plaintiff must post an attachment bond under Rules 592 and 592a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. The court fixes the penal sum, and the bond is individually underwritten — there is no flat rate. Send us the court’s order and a specialist sizes, underwrites, and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the attachment bond actually guarantees

A writ of attachment is a prejudgment remedy: it lets a Texas plaintiff have the defendant’s property seized or held before the case is decided. Because that is a powerful step, Rule 592 requires a written court order after a hearing, and Rule 592a requires the plaintiff to file a bond before the writ issues.

The bond is payable to the defendant. It must be in an amount that, in the court’s opinion, will adequately compensate the defendant if the plaintiff fails to prosecute the suit to effect or the attachment is found to have been wrongfully sued out — covering the defendant’s damages and costs.

It is not insurance for you. If the attachment is later held wrongful and the surety pays the defendant, you repay the surety. The bond simply lets the writ issue while standing behind the defendant if you were wrong to seize the property.

Tex. R. Civ. P. 592 & 592aUnder Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 592 and 592a, a writ of attachment issues only on a written court order after a hearing, and only after the plaintiff files a bond payable to the defendant in the amount fixed by the court — sized to compensate the defendant for damages and costs if the plaintiff fails to prosecute the suit to effect or the writ was wrongfully sued out. Confirm the amount in your court’s order.
