Depending on the facts, you could obtain a Protective Order (harder to get; violation is a crime) or an injunction (less difficult to obtain; penalty for violation is contempt of court, which can involve files or jail or both).

Texas has what is called a "protective order" which has no contact provisions in it. It can be effected for a two year period of time. For more infomation, feel free to call.

Yes. The court has the power to put a restraining order in place forbidding contact between litigants under the proper circumstances.
