ABOUT THE COURT
On September 1, 2009, the first domestic violence family district
court went into effect in Harris County, Texas. The purpose of this
new Court is to give preference to domestic violence cases, including
cases involving dating violence and family violence. This Court is
required to give preference to a domestic violence case containing
an original application for a protective order, an application for
protective order filed with an original family matter case, and any
matter involving custody of a minor child if one parent is alleged to
have caused the death of another parent and there is a history of
domestic violence in the parents' relationship. The Court also has
the discretion to hear divorce and custody cases in which a court
has made an affirmative finding of family violence involving both
parties, or a protective order has been previously issued. The
purpose of the domestic violence district court is to (1) provide timely
and efficient access to emergency protective orders and other court
remedies for persons the court determines are victims of domestic
violence; (2) integrate victims' services for persons the court
determines are victims of domestic violence who have a case before
the court; and (3) promote an informed and consistent court
response to domestic violence cases to lessen the number of
misdemeanors, felonies, and fatalities related to domestic violence in
Harris County.
