MAKE FALSE ACCUSERS PAY — STOP FAMILY COURT BOND WAIVERS!

In family court, a single unproven allegation can cost you your child, your job, and your reputation — all without the accuser paying a dime.

Here’s the dirty secret:

• When someone files for a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) or PO (Protective Order), courts are supposed to require a bond — money the filer must put up to cover damages if their allegations turn out to be false.

• But in almost every case, judges waive the bond entirely. They say it’s “to protect victims,” but in reality it gives dishonest people a free weapon.

What happens when the allegations are disproven?

• You don’t get a penny back for legal fees or lost income.

• The liar walks away untouched — no sanctions, no accountability.

• The judge shrugs: “The bond was waived.”

This isn’t protecting victims. It’s protecting liars.

Why we need mandatory bonds NOW

• Deterrence: If someone knows they’ll lose money for lying, they’ll think twice.

• Compensation: Innocent parents shouldn’t have to pay thousands to clear their names.

• Balance: Courts can still issue emergency orders fast — but a bond ensures bad actors can’t abuse the system for free.

Right now, Texas Family Code §83.001 lets judges hand out TROs with zero financial risk to the accuser. That’s why false allegations are exploding — the system rewards manipulation instead of punishing it.

If you’re tired of watching good parents bankrupted by false claims, demand this reform:

No bond, no TRO. No exceptions. If the allegations are false, the filer pays — automatically.

Family courts should protect children, not bankroll lies.
