Is a No Contact Order Violation by Victim Legal? Yes. Because no contact orders are orders made to an accused, therefore, there is nothing preventing a victim by contacting an accused person under a no contact order.
Requirements for a protective order for domestic violence to be issued include establishing that family violence has occurred and is likely to occur again without such an order. The burden of proof for this involves whats known as a preponderance of evidence favoring the accuser.
1 Article 17.292 authorizes a magistrate to issue an emergency protective order after a defendants arrest for offenses involving family violence or offenses under the Penal Code regarding trafficking, sexual assault, or stalking. TEX. CODE CRIM.
A protective order is only available for people who have experienced dating or family violence and it can lead to criminal penalties (the Respondent/violator can be arrested) if violated. A restraining order can be ordered by a court for many different types of situations and only has civil penalties if violated.
A new Texas law makes it easier for victims of family violence to get a protective order. House Bill 1432, which went into effect September 1st, 2023, removes the requirement to prove that violence is likely to occur again before a family violence protective order can be granted.

When you file for a restraining order, you have the burden of proving that protection is necessary. This means providing enough evidence to show that the alleged abuse or harassment has occurred. Unfortunately, many petitions are denied because they lack the evidence required to meet this standard.
