Relating to the period during which an order for emergency protection remains in effect.

This bill changes the duration of emergency protection orders in Texas criminal cases. Orders issued under most circumstances now remain effective for 61 to 91 days (up from 31-61 days), while certain orders (under Subsection b(2)) last 91 to 121 days (up from 61-91 days). The law requires courts to modify orders only after notice, a hearing, and finding that changes won't endanger victims or increase risk. These changes apply only to orders issued on or after September 1, 2025, affecting defendants subject to these orders and victims protected under them.
