What Protective Orders can do in Texas

There are many purposes for a protective order in the state of Texas. These include:

• Preventing the offender from committing further acts of violence against the family
• Preventing the offender from having contact with the abused child
• Prohibiting the offender from going near a school or daycare where the child is being cared for
• Prohibiting the offender from harassing or threatening the victim

By legally prohibiting the family member committing violent acts from the above activities it is possible to concentrate on recovering from the abuse and getting started on a new life.
