FAQ

Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).

Requirements for a protective order for domestic violence to be issued include establishing that family violence has occurred and is likely to occur again without such an order. The burden of proof for this involves what's known as a “preponderance of evidence” favoring the accuser.

Restraining Orders in Texas In the Texas Family Code, a restraining order is defined as an official court document that orders the abuser to avoid contact with the victim or risk facing legal consequences, such as contempt of court. The purpose is to protect victims from further abuse.

If a judge believes an alleged abuser presents a clear and present danger of family violence, the judge can issue a temporary ex parte order for immediate protection. That often prohibits the alleged abuser from contacting the apparent victim. Such orders often last for 20 days, after which they can be renewed.

A protective order is only available for people who have experienced dating or family violence and it can lead to criminal penalties (the Respondent/violator can be arrested) if violated. A restraining order can be ordered by a court for many different types of situations and only has civil penalties if violated.

Key Differences A Harassment Order addresses unwanted behavior that may not necessarily involve physical harm but still causes significant distress to the victim. In contrast, a Restraining Order is typically sought in cases involving a history of violence, physical threat, or other forms of serious harm.

A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.

In most cases, a Protective Order will last up to 2 years. There are some situations where a court can issue an order that lasts longer than 2 years. Although you may file these forms without having a lawyer, you are encouraged to get a lawyer to help you in this process.
