What Does a Protective Order Do?
Our Denton, Collin, and Tarrant County domestic violence attorneys can help you navigate the legal processes required to file a protective order against your abuser so that you can feel safe at home again.
Also known as a "restraining order," a protective order may include various provisions, such as:
- No Contact Provision – Restricting the abuser from calling, e-mailing, texting, stalking, attacking, and disturbing the victim
- Stay Away Provision – Ordering the perpetrator to remain a specific number of yards or feet away from the victim, their home, school, job, and car, as well as a child’s home and school
- Move Out Provision – Forcing the abuser to move out of a home shared by the person they abused
- Peaceful Contact Provision – Allowing the perpetrator to amicably communicate with the person they abused on a limited basis, such as child care and visitation
- Counseling Provision – Ordering the abuser to attend counseling
- Firearms Provision – Ordering the abuser to surrender any guns they have in possession and prohibiting them from buying a firearm
Violation of a protective order can result in jail time and a fine. If the violation derived from a violent incident, the perpetrator can also be prosecuted for a misdemeanor or felony, along with jail time of up to two years.

Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers helped me with my divorce almost 3 years and just recently helped me with a child support modification.

This was not the first time that I worked with Coker, Robb & Cannon, but it was my first time to work with Anthony (TJ). He took my case very seriously. He researched all of my previous files and took into consideration everything that had happened since my case had previously been mediated. TJ was always quick to respond and he kept the process moving in a positive direction to work things out for the best interest of me and my children. I am thankful for his help and Holly Keen's help. I will continue to use them as I need to and will refer any/all of my family and friends to this firm, particularly TJ for any help that they need.- Kevin
