    Default Removing a Protective Order

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: texas



    If you have a protection order against someone. Can you have it removed if you want to try to reconcile? It has only been in place for a month and its on limited communication because we have a child together.

    Default Re: Removing a Protective Order

    Was this an order that YOU asked for, or was this an order that a judge placed on their own as part of a criminal case?

    You also need to be aware that if there is a child involved, and you've told the court that this person is so dangerous that you need a protection order, that you asking for this person to be allowed back around your child opens the door for child protection authorities to investigate and possibly seek to remove the child from your care. Google the term "failure to protect". Texas and Florida are the two states that are virtually rabid about this - so think VERY carefully BEFORE potentially asking the court for something that may put you in the position of choosing between the someone and your child.

    My child isn't on the order itself. She was removed from it when we had gone to court. I'm the only one on it. And I was the one who asked for it.
