Penalty Level Class A Misdemeanor (Felony for repeated violations)

Violation of a Protective Order under Texas Penal Code § 25.07 occurs when a person knowingly violates a court-issued protective, magistrate's, or bond order by communicating with, threatening, or going near a protected person. A first violation is a Class A Misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $4,000 fine). A second violation within 1 year, or any violation involving family violence or a deadly weapon, becomes a third-degree felony (2–10 years prison). Travis County courts treat violations seriously, often resulting in bond revocation in the underlying case.
