Your life is more important than anything else. You can get a restraining order but it's only a piece of paper -- it cannot protect you from fists, knives or bullets.

I'm not sure what county you live in. If you want a referral to an attorney, I can send you to someone, call me at 713-847-6000 or email me at [email protected].

FYI: If there is violence, your landlord can evict both of you.
