Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I am a victim of a domestic violence and I need some knowledge of what can possibly happen. This man is my kids father and we have lived together for 10 plus years...he was on probation for the past 2 years for hitting me. We ended up back together due to a fear for my life...this last time he threatened me with text messages and called my parents saying he would kill me if I did not give him money because he felt like i owed him. He has failed drug tests and was sentenced a weekend in jail for doing so...the DA also has past instances of people testyfying to show his pattern. His defense was that another girl was texting my phone off of his phone but I had a voicemail on my work phone with this same girl saying how he abused her. He has been in jail for 4 months and they refuse to give him bond....I am just wondering what could the possible odds be...

He is going to be convicted / probation revoked. No one will believe that stupid story he is making up. If he gets a prison sentence, once he is about to get out, call the DA to see if you can get a protective order against him.

Get yourself counseling so that you can be strong and stay away from this man. Report any contact he has with you, as any contact you would reasonable believe is threatening.
