Who Can Obtain a Protective Order?
If you are filing for a family violence protective order in Houston, you are eligible to receive protection from any individual you have the following ties to:
- Blood relative
- Related by marriage
- A person with whom you had an intimate, romantic, or dating relationship with
- Household member
- A previous household member
- People who have a child together
Though protective orders offer some legal protection, people unfortunately sometimes violate them. If you believe that your protective order has been violated, call the police as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.
People often use the terms "protective order" and "restraining order" interchangeably. Additionally, many people with a temporary restraining order (TRO) mistakenly believe they have been served with a protective order. Temporary restraining orders are different than protective orders. While a party can request a temporary restraining order ex parte (meaning without the other party being present), courts can only issue a permanent protective order after holding a hearing that both parties attend.
