Houston, Texas, Business and Commercial Law Firm Temporary (Preliminary) Restraining Orders and Injunctions
Emmons & Jackson frequently applies for – and obtains – temporary restraining orders (TRO) for its clients. A TRO is a court order prohibiting an opposing party from taking immediate action that is adverse to the client’s rights. Because TROs are issued on an emergency basis, occasionally without even providing notice to the opposing party, a TRO expires after 14 days. Prior to the TRO expiring, a hearing is held to determine whether there is a legal basis for transforming the TRO into a temporary injunction, which will last until the underlying dispute is resolved or there is a trial.
