What you need is a Protective Order (not a Restraining Order). I don't think there is a fee for a Protective Order. In Harris County, the District Attorney’s Office can help you get a Protective Order. Call the District Attorney’s office at (713) 755-5888, or go to the Family Criminal Law Division located on the 2nd floor of the Harris County Criminal Courts Building, 1201 Franklin, Houston, Texas 77002.

I don't think there's a filing fee for a restraining order in Texas. You should contact the Court because you may have been given incorrect information.
