REQUESTING ACCESS TO THE PROTECTIVE ORDER REGISTRY

BEFORE REQUESTING ACCESS, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

Pursuant to Sec. 72.155 of the Texas Government Code, “… Only an authorized user (court clerk), the attorney general, a district attorney, a criminal district attorney, a county attorney, a municipal attorney, or a peace officer may access information under the registry. “ For security and data integrity purposes, OCA requires that the heads of these agencies and terminal agency coordinators manage the users from their respective agencies, including granting access to the system.

For Agency Heads and Terminal Agency Coordinators, you are designated as a RESTRICTED USER and you may have already been uploaded into the system with protective order user rights.

Using the Chrome browser, please go to Protective order Login page and enter your email. You should receive an email momentarily with a link to the registry. For instructions on adding your staff and next steps, please go to Protective Order Registry Restricted User Instructions.
If you do not receive an email with a link to the website, please send an email to OCA-LegalSupport@txcourts.gov with the information required below. For troubleshooting, see also FAQs.

For other staff members, please request access directly from the head of your agency or your Terminal Agency Coordinator. You will get access to the system only when he/she has added you as a user.
