This goes for in the state of Texas....
An EPO, or Emergency Protective Order, is a request by an arresting officer to a judge or magistrate. If an arresting officer feels that the victim of the said crime is in danger of being threatened or harmed, he can request the EPO.
In Texas, and EPO is different than a restraining order that I believe one of the other persons answering this thinks it might be. Like one of the other answers, usually the judge signs off on it every time.
However, an EPO does not always state that the person cannot make contat with the person it is protecting. The judge can make a decision if the person is allowed to all, but not in a threatening manner, if the person can be within a set distance of the residence of workplace of the person it is protecting. A person that has an EPO placed on them can actually still reside at the residence with the same person and the only limitation they have, is that they cannot act in a threatening manner. If said by the magistrate or judge.
It can even prevent the person recieving the EPO from being in possession of firearms while the EPO is in place.
Unlike an restraining order, the EPO in Texas is only good for no more than 31 days. After that, there has to be another order declared by a judge which can actually last longer than 31 days.
Again, like someone else stated here, a violation of the EPO will result in another criminal charge.

Define Epo

EPO is an Emergency Protection Order not a charge.
It is file along with the case jacket that the arresting officer turns in.
If the judge signs it (99.9% of the time they do) the offender cannot have ANY contact with the victim. NO mail, NO phone calls, NO contact PERIOD. It usually lasts anywhere from 1 month up to 3 months. Violation of the EPO would constitute an additional charge (depending on the severity of the case) after that the victim (if he or she chooses to) can file for a continuous protective order.

An emergency protection order is an order that police can obtain from the court to provide immediate protection to an abused family member. The application can be made by telephone or in person at any hour of the day or night.

I think michelle hit it on the head. I would like to add that when you get the EPO charge, you are NOT allowed to go anyplace where the 'protected person' is. So lets just say 'lisa' has an epo on her husband, the husband cannot come near lisa or her home. if he violates that, he will go (back to) jail.

Yes, she can be held accountable for both charges. If she was already charged, then it isn't an "old charge", it is a "pending charge". The statute of limitations would not apply if she was already charged.
