Terms Used In Texas Transportation Code 644.154

  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Rule: includes regulation. See Texas Government Code 311.005
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.

(c) The court may grant the director, without bond or other undertaking:
(1) a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, including a temporary restraining order; or
(2) after notice and hearing, a temporary or permanent injunction.
