Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Matter of Life or Death

My daughter is in a drug/mental problems enhanced abusive marriage. Her life was threatend and she left and filed an Emer. Protective order. Which was never put into the system, but nontheless was still in order. She was attacked a week 1/2 later again (babies right there with her) and he attemped to kidnap her. Since order didn't show up on computer, cops couldn't help her. But other complaints were filed also. Long story short, He is in jail, turned himself in, he is able to bond out, but other charges are waiting to go into AFFECT. Up until now...he has attacked people, threatened lives, used weapons, endangered children (his own and others) But This crazy system is not Helping us. WHAT DO WE DO. he has bodily inury charges only..from his wife because that's all they said it was. HELP HELP...she is in fear of her life and it's only getting worse... HE has a long history of abusive behavior with his own Step dad and mom..and others...but up until now..they never reported him. THey only made it worse. His rage will only get worse and they only thing it seems we can do is wait till there is blood shed or even death. HELP US...PLEASE.

Ever hear that the squeaky wheel gets the grease? If you cannot effect that on your own, hire a lawyer for your daughter's benefit to ensure that the proper orders are in place, and the proper charges are being filed to protect her and the children.
