Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I have requested a protective order against my ex boyfriend and have found out he will be attending the hearing. I have police reports dating back to October 2008 showing him damaging 2 of my vehicles, domestic violence and stalking me in November of 2009. The last time I spoke with my ex he mentioned to me that he has been recording our conversations, or at least partially recording them. I believe he is coming to the hearing to play these recordings to show that I am the harrasser and/or stalker. My ex is also mentally ill. The only reason I have even dealt with him is because I took a bond out on him in October 2009 and have been trying to get him to remove me off of it since November 2009 because we were no longer together and he lived in another city and I didnt want to be responsible for him. I have no idea how long he has been recording me, but my question is "Will he be able to submit taped recordings of our conversations in a court of law?" The hearing will take place in San Antonio, TX (Bexar County)

If he can properly admit them into evidence, he can.
