I was granted an 18 month restraining order against my ex. He violated the order and I enforced it and he landed up in jail. The first court date I missed because the DA's office failed to inform me of the date. I missed the 2nd courtdate due to just having started a new job but this time I at least had a chance to talk to the DA. The 3rd and final court date is coming up and I told the DA my job would only give me the time off if I showed them an official subpeona, thus far they haven given me one. I'm told if I don't show up this time not only will my ex get out but the restraining order I have against him will be void, is that true?

You are lucky to have been given a third chance. Generally speaking the case would have been dismissed (in my state) after the second no show.

You need to keep calling the DA's office until they give the the subpeona. It does not cost them anything to get one together, just a little time to type it. Most DA's offices are extremely busy and it is probably just an oversight. Otherwise, you might check with your employeer and see if there is some other court document that they might accept.

They can't give you a subpeona when you are the victim.
You should be able to get some paperwork with the court date on it from the district or county clerks office.
They can void the restraining order if you don't appear.
You need to think- what is more important- the job or your safety? Job won't be any good if he kills you, will it?
