Where to Find Help

UPDATED November 3, 2006

Before your Protective Order can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the clerk of the court in the district or county court in your county to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of Texas courts, check the Courthouse Locations page.

Usually, you get your papers served at your local Sheriff Department. Listed below are telephone numbers and addresses for Sheriff Departments in Texas.
