FAQ
An injunction or temporary restraining order is an order from the court prohibiting a party from performing or ordering a specified act, either temporarily or permanently.
If you have checked off the box requesting an ex parte order, a temporary (ex parte) restraining order can be issued on the day you apply for your restraining order if you allege (and the judge believes) that there is an immediate and present physical danger to you.
Ex parte means that the abuser does not have to be present or given notice of the hearing. This is a preliminary hearing where the judge can grant you a temporary restraining order for 10 days.
File a Petition: The party seeking a TRO must file a verified petition in the court where the main case is or will be pending. Present Evidence: The petitioner must provide evidence that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will occur without the TRO.
In the State of Texas, an ex parte TRO is in place for 14 days and without a joint agreement to extend the TRO, a temporary orders hearing must take place, so that the “restrained” party can present evidence to the court. At that hearing, the judge will rule whether the TRO will continue or will expire.
The phrase “ex parte” is Latin for “by or for a party,” and a temporary ex parte protective order typically remains in effect for 20 days—usually until the date of a final hearing at which the applicant must be present in order for the protective order to remain in effect.
83.002. DURATION OF ORDER; EXTENSION. (a) A temporary ex parte order is valid for the period specified in the order, not to exceed 20 days. (b) On the request of an applicant or on the court's own motion, a temporary ex parte order may be extended for additional 20-day periods.
A temporary restraining order serves to provide emergency relief and to preserve the status quo until a hearing may be had on a temporary injunction. The purpose of a temporary injunction is to preserve the status quo pending a full trial on the merits.
