Can I see my kids after a sex crime charge Texas? Often the answer depends on the written terms. A bond order, a protective order or a family court order can each limit contact, and a judge sets those terms. This guide explains which papers to read first and how the criminal and family court tracks differ. It is general information, not advice on your case.<\/p>\n

What a Bond Condition Can Say About Contact With Children<\/h2>\n

A bond condition can limit your contact with children, and the judge decides what those terms are. After an arrest in a child-related case, the court can set conditions of release. Those conditions can cover where you may go and who you may contact.<\/p>\n

Texas Penal Code \u00a7 25.07<\/a> makes it a crime to knowingly or intentionally break certain bond conditions in family violence, sexual assault or abuse, indecent assault, stalking, or trafficking cases. Those conditions can include going to or near the residence, workplace or business of a protected person or a member of the family or household, or a child care facility, residence or school where a protected child normally lives or attends, as specifically described in the order or condition of bond. The statute also covers contacting a protected person in a way the bond prohibits, except through your attorney or a person the court appoints.<\/p>\n

That means a bond violation can add a new charge on top of the case you already face. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure art. 7B.005<\/a> shows how courts describe these limits in protective orders. In a protective order that includes a location condition under art. 7B.005(a)(2)(B), the court must name each prohibited location and any minimum distance you must keep from it. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 7B.005 reads: “This subsection does not apply to a protective order with respect to which the court has received a request to maintain confidentiality of information revealing the locations.” The exact words matter. A line that says “no contact with minors” reads differently from one that names your own children and a particular school.<\/p>\n\n

Where to Find the Terms That Control Your Contact<\/h2>\n

The terms that control your contact are written on your bond or release papers and on any protective order. Start with those documents before you assume what you can and cannot do. Which terms apply depends on the facts of your case.<\/p>\n

Gather every paper from the arrest and the court. That includes the bond or release order, the conditions of release, any magistrate paperwork, and any protective order. If a family court has entered an order, get a copy of that too.<\/p>\n
