Common Questions about Emergency Protective Orders
What happens if an Emergency Protective Order is violated?
Violating an EPO is a criminal offense under Texas Penal Code §25.07. It can lead to arrest, additional charges, and possible jail time. Courts treat violations seriously, which can significantly affect ongoing or future legal proceedings.
How is an EPO different from a standard protective order?
An EPO is issued immediately after an arrest and is short-term. A protective order is requested through a separate court process, can last longer, and involves a full hearing at which both parties present evidence.
How long does an Emergency Protective Order last in Texas?
An EPO typically lasts between 31 and 61 days, depending on the case. If a deadly weapon was involved, it can extend up to 91 days, giving the court time to address longer-term protection needs.
