USE NOTES

1. The Temporary Order of Protection and Order to Appear requires a proof of return of service. The Committee has been informed that each local law enforcement agency has its own return of service form which will be used for this purpose.

2. Personal service of the Temporary Order of Protection and Order to Appear will assure that the Temporary Order is fully enforceable. It is possible that actual notice to the respondent of the content of the Temporary Order will also suffice to bind the respondent to comply with the order. Territory of New Mexico v. Clancy, 7 N.M. 580, 583 (1894).
