Filing for Temporary Orders: Either parent can file a request for temporary custody orders. This request initiates the process and schedules the initial custody hearing. The filing parent must provide detailed information about their desired custody arrangement and any pertinent facts about the child's situation.
In most cases, a Temporary Order will last until the final order – either a Final Decree of Divorce (the document that divorces spouses) or Final Order in Suit Affecting or Modifying the Parent-Child Relationship (the final document in a custody case).
Restraining Orders & Protective Orders Temporary orders are a way to get an agreement about child custody and support in place while the process for the final order is in process. Temporary restraining orders and protective orders are emergency agreements meant to protect the safety of a child or ex-spouse.

How to Get Temporary Custody: You must file an affidavit detailing the immediate danger to the child, along with a proposed temporary order. If the risk is severe, an 'ex parte' hearing may be granted without the other parent present.
In Texas, a Temporary Restraining Order (or “TRO”) is a document filed with your initial petition. It can be filed in a divorce or a child custody matter. As the name suggests, once signed, it temporary restrains you, the other party, or both you and the other party from engaging in certain acts.
You can get temporary custody forms in Texas from the Courts, which your lawyer can help you properly fill out. You'll need to file those forms with the Court in the county where your child lives. Make sure you bring originals of any documents you include in your petition, as well as a few copies.
After the court grants emergency custody, both parents will attend a second hearing where they can present evidence. After reviewing the evidence and hearing from both parents, the judge will decide on one of three outcomes. They will either nullify the ruling, make alterations, or allow the ruling to stand as is.
If it is a temporary guardianship, you could file a petition to terminate the temporary guardianship with the probate court. If it involved signing over of custody in some other type of proceeding and/or court, you may need to file a motion, or a similar document, to try to terminate the custodial transfer.
If involving an attorney is not desirable or affordable, one can file their own petition for temporary custody with the clerk of court. There is usually a self-help desk at the Clerk of Court, or you can find the forms online.
