When does a Texas temporary restraining order granted without notice expire?

Obtain the complete signed TRO, its issuance date and hour and the clerk record.

Read the exact expiration terms rather than assuming signing plus fourteen days.

Obtain any timely extension order and consent evidence, and the actual injunction hearing setting.

1. Obtain the complete signed TRO, its issuance date and hour and the clerk record.
2. Rule 680 measures the original court-fixed expiration from signing and caps that original period at fourteen days. The court may choose a shorter period. An existing order’s terms and any actual authorized extension must be read together.
3. Read the actual order and confirm every stated condition.
4. Complete the act required by the rule, not merely a date calculation.

Read the signed order’s exact expiration terms, including any date and hour. Rule 680 does not authorize keeping an order alive by silently applying a generic filing rollover to its expiration. This guide applies no closed-day extension to the order and makes no calculation.

The fourteen-day preset replaces the court’s actual expiration terms with the maximum and cannot preserve an order-specific hour or extension. It cannot establish the correct result for this variable procedure. No date or paid calculation record is published.

Required no-notice showing

Rule 680 requires specific affidavit or verified-complaint facts showing immediate irreparable injury, loss or damage before notice and a hearing could occur. Timing alone does not satisfy that showing.

Timely extension

An extension for good cause and a like period must occur within the time fixed. The restrained party may consent to a longer period. Extension reasons must be entered of record.

Further extensions

No more than one extension may be granted unless subsequent extensions are unopposed. An extension is not inferred merely because the injunction hearing occurs later.

Injunction hearing and dissolution

The temporary-injunction application must receive the earliest possible hearing with the stated priority. If the obtaining party does not proceed with it at the hearing, the court must dissolve the TRO. Every restraining order must include a certain hearing date for the injunction sought.

• Preserve the signed order, endorsed issuance date and hour, forthwith clerk filing and record entry. The no-notice order must state the injury, irreparability and reason notice was omitted. Preserve the actual injunction hearing order and any extension record. A date-only calculation cannot establish continuing restraint at a particular hour.
