Types Of Protective Orders In Texas

Protective orders are available to both men and women throughout the state of Texas. There are a number of different types of protective orders, and the type you may wish to pursue will depend on your unique situation. Our divorce family lawyers will take the time to understand the specifics of your circumstances in order to help you pursue the most effective option.

The different types of protective orders include:

  • Enjoin Contact or Restraining Orders: Prevents an individual from having any contact whatsoever with the person who filed the protective order
  • Protective Orders Involving Children: Prevents an abusive parent from contacting a child, and can revoke custody/visitation rights
  • Exclude from Private Spaces: Allows contact between an individual and the petitioner in public spaces only (typically used when reasonable contact must be made)
  • Firearm License Suspension: Revokes concealed carry permits and firearms licenses when an individual is accused or convicted of a crime (may include mandatory surrender of firearms)
  • Counseling: Requires mandatory anger management and other counseling for an individual, in addition to other requirements
If an individual violates a protective order, he or she is subject to steep fines and jail time. Depending on the type of protective order you seek, your partner may be prohibited from contacting you for anywhere from 20 days to 2 years. This means he or she may not contact you in person, by phone, email, social media, or through a third party.
