Relating to the transfer of a protective order.

HB 782 clarifies when courts must transfer protective orders in family law cases. It changes Texas Family Code sections to require that courts transfer protective orders (like those preventing contact between family members) to the court handling the main divorce or custody case, especially when the order affects child access. This applies when the protective order was issued before or during a divorce/custody suit, or after a custody order was finalized. The bill repeals a previous requirement and takes effect September 1, 2025, affecting people involved in family law disputes where protective orders overlap with custody proceedings.
