What Can a Protective Order Do?
A protective order can:
- Order the abuser to stop contacting you, including by email, phone, text, etc.
- Order the abuser to stop harassing or threatening you
- Order the abuser to refrain from going near your home or place of work
- Grant you temporary custody of your child
- Order the abuser to vacate your shared residence

Have You Been Falsely Accused?
Accusations of domestic violence are common during a divorce or custody dispute. Sometimes these accusations are used to gain leverage in a contested family law matter. We are skilled at defending clients facing domestic violence accusations and at identifying whether a case has been filed to secure an unfair advantage.
Protective Order vs. Restraining Order
The distinction between a Restraining Order and a Protection Order is a common source of misunderstanding. A Restraining Order in Texas is essentially a court order prohibiting an individual or organization from engaging in a specific operation. A conventional restraining order will prohibit a divorcing partner from withdrawing funds from their retirement account. This type of withdrawal is typical during the early stages of a divorce, when people are attempting to conceal assets.
A Protection Order is a form of judicial order that is not to be confused with a restraining order. When family violence has happened in Texas, a Protective Order is provided for the victim's protection. There are two legal requirements for issuing a protection order. A court must first decide if there has been family abuse. Second, a court must determine that potential family abuse is possible. A court may impose a protective order for up to two years if both findings are made.
