TX Updated SA RO qu

December 2019

Based on a September 2019 addition to Texas law, we added information to What types of protective orders are available? How long do they last? about the reasons that a protective order for victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse, indecent assault, stalking, or trafficking could last forever. All changes made in English; Spanish soon to come. In addition, we updated six other questions in English and Spanish in our in our Texas Protective Orders for Victims of Sexual Assault, Sexual Abuse, Indecent Assault, Stalking, or Trafficking section to reflect the fact that indecent assault is now covered by this type of restraining order.
