Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My live in boyfriend's ex wife came over unannounced. She had the kids open the door when I went ot the restroom. I startled her. And that point she began verbally harrassing me. In which time I told her to leave. I had the door almost closed when she went ballistic. We struggled with the door. Then she proceeded to hit me. I had a bruise right chest and a hand/wrist injury requiring medical bills. The children (hers) were witness to the event. I qualified for domestic violence. But the da and prosecutor will not take case because they will not use kids.I am being told due to only kids as witnesses I am basically on my ownto continue the saga. I was told to contact the police again (which I did) each time it occurs. I am trying to prevent anything else occuring. I wanted a protective order because I have a daughter who was home at the time. And I worry about my safety. She was in contempt of court. The decree just states someone competent over 18 can be appointed by the parents to watch them.

The DA and the prosecutor are gutless wonders.

YOU are a witness to the assault. Nobody needs the testimony of children.

Forget those wusses at the DA's office. Hire a private attorney and apply for a protective order.
