The Hood County family standing order of the 355th District Court and County Court at Law No. 1: it restrains the parties in every divorce and suit affecting the parent-child relationship on the children, conduct, property, records and insurance, and requires the petitioner to certify review of the order in the petition.
Attaches to every divorce and SAPCR filed in the 355th District Court and County Court at Law No. 1 of Hood County; the petitioner certifies review in the petition.
This standing order applies in divorce and suit-affecting-the-parent-child-relationship cases in the 355th District Court and County Court at Law No. 1 of Hood County. Its ten sections enjoin the parties as to the children (including no overnight romantic guest between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in an original divorce), conduct toward each other (no harassment, threats, bodily injury or obstruction of property), the preservation of property, records (including electronic and intellectual property), and insurance, and list the expenditures each remains authorized to make. The District Clerk attaches the order to the petition, and the petitioner, by his or her attorney, must certify in writing in the original petition that he or she has received and reviewed the entire contents of the order. It operates as a temporary restraining order for 14 days and then as a temporary mutual injunction; a protective order controls where it conflicts; the parties must confer at least one hour before any temporary-orders hearing and file a Certificate of Conference; and duplicative motions are denied without a hearing. Effective January 9, 2023; signed January 9, 2023 by Judge Bryan T. Bufkin (355th District Court) and Judge Richard L. Hattox (County Court at Law No. 1); filed January 10, 2023.
