The Urgency of Your Safety: Understanding the Threat of Violence and Harassment
When fear enters your life, it becomes hard to focus on anything else. We understand that a perpetrator’s promise of harm is a threat that requires more than a simple warning—it requires a Court order protection lawyer to make that promise legally enforceable.
Without swift action from a dedicated Domestic violence restraining order lawyer, you risk:
- Continued Threat: The danger escalates if the perpetrator is not legally prohibited from contact.
- Jeopardy to Children: If Child custody and protection is a concern, securing a Protective order is often a necessary first step in demonstrating the best interests of the child to the Family court.
- Legal Missteps: Filing incorrectly or appearing unrepresented at a hearing could lead to your request for protection being denied, leaving you vulnerable.
We act immediately to navigate the legal system on your behalf, turning fear into legal certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How to get a restraining order in Houston, TX?
You must file a Petition for Protective Order in the Family Court and present compelling evidence of abuse or harassment. The process typically involves seeking a temporary order first, followed by a final hearing to secure a permanent Protective order. We handle the entire legal process for you.
How long does a restraining order last in Texas?
A Temporary restraining order (TRO) usually lasts 14 to 20 days. A final, permanent Protective order typically lasts for up to two years. However, in some situations, it can be extended or made permanent.
What proof is needed for a restraining order?
You need clear evidence of abuse or harassment, which can include testimony, police reports, medical records, threatening messages (emails, texts), photos of injuries, or witness statements. Protective order attorney Sehar Hirani will help you compile and present this evidence effectively.
Can a restraining order be dropped in Texas?
Yes, but the victim cannot unilaterally drop a Protective order. Once an order is issued, it is a court order. The victim can ask the court to dismiss the order, but the final decision rests with the Family Court judge.
What is the difference between a restraining order and a protective order in Texas?
The term ‘protective order’ is the official legal term used in Texas (under the Texas Family Code Chapter 85) to prevent Domestic violence or stalking. A ‘restraining order’ (TRO) is a separate, temporary civil order used in divorce or civil suits to maintain the status quo (e.g., freezing assets). The public often uses the terms interchangeably, but they serve different legal purposes.
