SB 1807 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the confidentiality of certain personal information of an applicant for or a person protected by a protective order.

SB 1807 protects the privacy of individuals seeking or under a protective order in Texas by requiring courts to keep certain personal information confidential. It mandates that courts remove applicants' mailing addresses and counties of residence from public records, designate a trusted contact to receive court documents, and prohibit disclosure to the respondent. The bill also requires courts to exclude protected individuals' addresses, phone numbers, and children's school locations from protective orders upon request, and to inform victims of this right during hearings. These provisions directly affect domestic violence victims and others under protective orders, enhancing their safety by limiting public access to sensitive contact details.
