Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My sister is currently in a child custody case with her ex husband. Her attorney motioned to withdraw and during the withdraw hearing my sisters lawyer stated that my sisters family threatened to kill her and the judge. So the judge put an injunction of protection on all of my sisters family including my mother, father, sister and myself. I live over 500 miles away from my sister and have only seen her once in 18 years and only seen the child in the case once when he was 4 months old and that was over ten years ago. I have nothing to do with this case and have never spoken to my sister, the court or anyone about this case, I have very little knowledge of the case from phone conversations with my mother. I am a school teacher who just recently finsihed getting my masters and principal certification and I was told that this will show up on a background check. My district does a background check every six months and once this pops up I will lose my job as school teacher and never will be hired by another district for a teaching or administration position. How can something like this happen and how is one able to put such an injunction on someone who lives over 500 miles away. As a teacher/coach I have never missed a day of work and my phone records show no contact with anyone. I have a pregnant wife and child and this will completly ruin us. I can not afford a lawyer. The injunction list 27 people that I am not allowed to go within 100 feet of or contact and this includes the judge, court reporter, baliff, court clerk, my sisters lawyer and staff as well as my sisters ex husbands lawyer and staff. I haven't seen my family in nearly in 15 years and I get hit with this.
