In Austin, Texas parties to a divorce proceeding or suit affecting the parent-child relationship are going to have three kinds of relief in family law cases: temporary restraining orders, or “TRO’s”, temporary injunctions and temporary orders.

Temporary restraining orders are used to maintain the “status quo.” Under the Texas Family Code, a temporary restraining order may be granted ex-parte without notice to the other party for a period of 14 days. (Ex-parte refers to a situation where only one party appears before the judge.) The petition or motion must “state what relief the court is being asked to grant.” Furthermore, the petition or motion must state the statutory grounds on which the request is based. By preserving the “status quo,” the temporary restraining order may stop a party from doing some act. For example: a husband and wife own a house in Austin, which is located in Travis County, Texas. The husband is filing for divorce, but is afraid that his wife is going to reduce the value of the house or other household property. The husband may ask the Travis County Court for relief by asking the court to temporarily restrain his wife from intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly destroying, removing, concealing, encumbering, transferring, or otherwise harming or reducing the value of the property of the parties, etc. In Texas, a temporary restraining order may be employed in combination with a suit for dissolution of a marriage, (a.k.a. divorce) or in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. A temporary restraining order may be employed to protect a child’s safety and welfare, the preservation of property, or to protect one of the parties.
