 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to temporary injunctions against certain third parties
 1-3     during a suit for dissolution of a marriage.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Subchapter F, Chapter 6, Family Code, is amended
 1-6     by adding Section 6.508 to read as follows:
 1-7           Sec. 6.508.  TEMPORARY INJUNCTION AGAINST THIRD PARTY.  On
 1-8     the motion of a party to a suit for dissolution of a marriage and
 1-9     after notice and hearing, the court may render a temporary
1-10     injunction against a person who is not a party to the suit that
1-11     prohibits the person during the pendency of the suit from:
1-12                 (1)  communicating directly or indirectly through any
1-13     person with the movant's spouse or a child of the movant's spouse;
1-14                 (2)  going to or near the residence or place of
1-15     employment or business of the movant's spouse;
1-16                 (3)  going to or near the residence, child-care
1-17     facility, or school a child of the movant's spouse normally attends
1-18     or in which the child normally resides; and
1-19                 (4)  engaging in conduct that would impede the
1-20     reconciliation of the movant and the movant's spouse.
1-21           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999, and
1-22     applies to a suit for dissolution of a marriage that is pending on
1-23     or filed on or after that date.
1-24           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
 2-1     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
 2-2     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-3     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
 2-4     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
