EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking can get free protective orders from the El Paso County Attorney's Office from their abusers, the office said in a news release on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Victims can apply for a protective order through the County Attorney's website here. The process is simple and confidential. "Our goal: provide victims with options to help them get safe. Protective orders can help victims protect themselves and their families," El Paso County Attorney Christina Sanchez said. "Apply online from your own safe place or at our offices and we will work to assess your case and obtain a protective order if you qualify." According to the County Attorney's Office, in addition to providing legal protection through protective orders, victims will also be connected with resources such as emergency shelters, financial assistance and education support to help victims rebuild their lives. Domestic violence too often involves the ongoing use of power and control, where fear, emotional manipulation and financial dependence make it difficult for victims to leave their aggressors: when these tactics of control fail, aggressors turn to violence, the County Attorney's Office said. "We understand the decision to leave an abusive relationship can be a challenge. This is not a decision victims have to face alone," Sanchez said. "In addition to protective orders, we connect and work with others including the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence, law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office, to help people find safety and regain control over their lives." Victims can receive assistance by calling (915) 273-3238 or by visiting the following office locations: Downtown Office 320 S. Campbell St., 2nd floor, Suite 200 Open Monday - Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ysleta Annex Office 9521 Socorro Rd., Suite A-3 Open Monday - Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Northwest Office 435 E. Vinton Rd., Suite B Open Monday - Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Victims can also reach out to the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence (CASFV) at (915) 593-7300 to request emergency shelter. According to the County Attorney's Office, the CASFV provides safe, confidential housing for individuals and families affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, offering a secure environment and support services to help victims begin their journey toward safety and recovery.
