WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
Based on a September 2019 addition to the law that includes “indecent assault” as a ground for a protective order, we created a new question called What is the definition of indecent assault? in our Texas Protective Orders for Victims of Sexual Assault, Sexual Abuse, Indecent Assault, Stalking, or Trafficking. All changes made in English; Spanish soon to come.
