Hello,

My name is Eli and I am one of JustAnswer's attorneys. I'll be helping you resolve your matter today.

The typical TRO costs about $200 in filing fees and $400-$750 in attorney fees. The filing fees can be waived with a "paper's affidavit."

Best of luck in your matter. I'm here if you need any more clarification or follow up info.

Your question will not close, and you will still have the opportunity to follow-up if and I would be happy to answer any and all of the follow up questions.

Remember, sometimes the law under which your situation falls does not give you the outcome or the choices you wanted - please understand that this is not the attorney's fault, but the way of circumstance.

There might be a delay between your follow up questions and my answers because I may be helping other clients or taking a break.

Hello,

It is possible to file your own TRO in Texas - you can even due it in the Justice of the Peace Court. Just go to one and ask the clerk for a form. In a JP court, it's much easier and you CAN dot it yourself. If you choose to have an attorney, yes - a flat fee of around $500 i standard. What an attorney starts, he must finish.

Best of luck in your matter. I'm here if you need any more clarification or follow up info.
