If the court finds from the information contained in an application for a protective order that there is a clear and present danger that the alleged offender will traffic the applicant in a manner that constitutes an offense under Section 20A.02, Penal Code, or that the victim will otherwise suffer harm described by that section, the court, without further notice to the offender or alleged offender and without a hearing, may enter a temporary ex parte order for the protection of the applicant or any other member of the applicant's family or household.
