What Is an Emergency Custody Order in Texas?
An emergency custody order (Temporary Restraining Order or Emergency Protective Order) is a court order that can be obtained quickly — sometimes within 24-48 hours — when a child faces immediate danger. In Texas, emergency custody orders can be granted ex parte (without the other parent present) when there is evidence of immediate danger to the child's physical health or safety. These orders are temporary and require a full hearing within 14 days where both parties can present evidence.
How to Get Emergency Custody in El Paso
To obtain an emergency custody order in El Paso, your attorney files an emergency motion with supporting affidavit documenting the immediate danger to the child. The judge reviews the evidence and may grant a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) the same day. A hearing is then scheduled within 14 days where both parties present evidence. Laine Law Firm moves quickly in emergency situations, filing the necessary paperwork and presenting compelling evidence to protect your child.
