Terms Used In Texas Property Code 301.086

  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.

(c) A temporary restraining order or other order granting preliminary or temporary relief under this section is governed by the applicable Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
(d) The filing of a civil action under this section does not affect the initiation or continuation of administrative proceedings under § 301.111.
