TEXAS Part 58

5. What do we need to do to get TRO?

In most Texas counties, a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) will be attached to the Original Petition for Divorce. Do not confuse a TRO with a Protective Order (which orders a party to stay away from someone’s residence/employment). Most family law TROs are issued to restrain the parties from a laundry list of bad acts against each other (such as hiding assets or children from the other spouse).
