Texas 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: a specialist reviews the court’s order and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

From court order to filed bond.
Court bonds are underwritten, so a specialist reviews the order before quoting. Here is the whole thing — no broker phone tag:
Send the details
Your details, the case information, and the bond amount the court fixed in its order — that is what a specialist needs to start underwriting.
Underwritten & quoted
A specialist reviews the court order and sizes the bond. On larger penal sums, collateral or financials may be required before a quote is firmed up.
E-sign & file
Once you accept the quote, you receive the executed bond, payable to the defendant, ready to file with the clerk so the writ can issue. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the court insists.
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.

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
E-sign & file. Once you accept the quote, you receive the executed bond, payable to the defendant, ready to file with the clerk so the writ can issue. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the court insists.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten: the premium is quoted from the bond amount the court sets and your financial picture, so there is no flat price to show.
