Understanding Texas Domestic Violence Laws & Local Procedures

Both criminal and family law in Texas address domestic violence. The Texas Penal Code defines family violence as an act by a family or household member intended to cause physical harm or a credible threat of harm to another member. Courts in Lewisville and Denton County treat these allegations very seriously. Local judges regularly review protective order requests at the Denton County Courts Building in nearby Denton. These hearings deliver important protections to those at risk. Knowing the difference between criminal charges and family court remedies can help you evaluate your options. If your case involves threats, stalking, or repeated harm, Texas law gives judges the authority to grant short-term and long-term protection as circumstances require. A domestic violence attorney familiar with the local courts and their calendars can help you understand each step in the process and what to expect.
