Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

I had charges and a protective order against me in another state. I was also charged with violating the protection order before it was ever served to me, The judge threw the other charges out, but the violation of a protective order is still pending. Can they do this? And is the protective order still instated of the charges are dropped?
