Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am from Texas. My soon to be ex husband has a protective order against him; placed there by me. Well I've been in touch with his ex wife, and then I found out she can't talk to me anymore because he made her sign a document stating they cannot talk. Well I found out he failed a drug test and refuses to go back. Can my lawyer subpoena those records, or can we subpoena her? Or can we call him to the stand and ask him questions pertaining to the case? The case is in a diff county. I just don't want his ex wife to get in trouble. I didn't come across this info from her, but from somewhere else.

First, bring this up with your lawyer and take his or her advice.

Yes, you can subpoena drug test results if you know where the drug test was taken. Your attorney has to follow the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure relating to obtaining discovery from non-parties. (See TRCP 205).
