You'll never know until you file for one. I would think that death threats would be compelling evidence for a judge to grant a restraining order.

You should first call the police and file a report or else the judge will view your petition with little credibility. You can petition the court for one and the judge will determine if the evidence is credible enough to grant one. The worst that will happen is that it is denied and you are no worse off.

You have to apply for it and have a hearing.
