A McAllen mother says she's been fighting to keep her and her children safe for over a year.
She says repeated threats from her husband have left her desperate for protection.
For Abigail Casas, the past year has been a relentless battle.
"I've really tried getting help this past year," Casas said. "We've relocated many, many times just because the protective order is not in place."
Casas says that order will secure the protection she says her family urgently needs.
"There's nothing that I can do at this point but just keep moving and keep moving and keep making reports, but it's like I hit a wall every time."
Casas says when she met her husband several years ago, he was a different man. She came into the marriage with one child, and had another with him.
