Does a family member have to be arrested in order for a restraining order to be obtained?
No. A restraining order is issued by a civil court, so the abuser does not have to be in violation of any law. A restraining order is issued in order to protect the family from any form of abuse, even if that abuse may not be in direct violation of a specific Texas domestic abuse law. Houston restraining order lawyers will be able to help you obtain a restraining order which will protect the safety of your family.
