The kit contains information, step-by-step instructions, and court forms that you can use on your own. Please note that these form can be filled out on screen and printed out with your information. The forms will not save your information. If you start to fill out the forms and are unable to finish, you will have to fill them out again.

You can also ask your local district or county attorney’s office for help. PLEASE BE CAREFUL: anyone who uses your computer can see what websites and pages you have visited. You cannot completely clear it. If you think this may happen, please use a safer computer, call your local shelter, or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY: 800-787-3224. These court forms have been approved by the Supreme Court of Texas. This means that you can file these forms in any county in Texas.
