Emergency Orders
Rachel Li, Attorney at Law • Plano Divorce Lawyer
Emergency orders are extraordinary relief the court can order to preserve and protect people, property, and assets from
potential harm or harrassment.
Protective Orders
Protective orders are issued for family violence, whether against a spouse, children or extended family members. When threats
are made against a family member, the court can issue a protective order to help insure the family's
safety.
Temporary Restraining Orders
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is issued by the court after the moving party applies for relief from threatened harm
to the party or the parties' property. The court may grant a TRO to direct a party to refrain from certain activity after applying the
following tests.
- Will the moving party suffer irreparable injury?
- Will the moving party succeed on the merits?
- Will the opposing party be harmed more than the moving party is helped?
- Will graning relief be in the public interest?
Injunctions
An injunction is generally a more permanent form of court intervention. An injunction is a court order that requires an individual
to perform or refrain from performing a certain act. Injunctions may be one of the following types: Preliminary,
Preventative, Mandatory, and Permanent.
Writ of Reentry
A writ of reentry is a court order issued by the justice court with jurisdiction over the premises in question
because of an alleged illegal lockout. The tenant must enter a sworn complaint and appear before the court to
present oral testimony under oath regarding the facts of their complaint. After hearing testimony and reviewing
the facts of the case, the court will make their ruling and issue any necessary order.
