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 in Texas can:
- Force an abuser to leave your home (if you live together).
- Restrict your abuser from coming within a specified distance of you, your place of work or school, and your home.
- Restrict your abuser from coming within a specified distance of your children, their school, and their regular places of attendance.
- Prohibit all contact from your abuser, including phone calls, emails, text messages, or notes.
- Restrict your abuser from using a third-party to deliver messages or gifts on his or her behalf.
