Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I live in Texas at present and want to move as I have been offered better jobs in both Florida and Alaska. There is temp custody and he has supervised visitation and is not working. I also have a 2 year protection order against him as well as his now ex wife having one as well. Can I go ahead and move and file in my new state or must I wait for the final order to be done?

No you cannot move with the children. If you leave, the children must stay. The Texas court has continuing jurisdiction over the children. You instead must have the permission of the court, and it should be in the final order. A temporary ruling is not sufficient to effect such a significant change.
