I cannot think of any states where they wouldn't be public record. In virtually all states, court records are available to the public for copying and inspection unless the records is sealed for some reason.

All court records are usually "public" records. However, judges do have the discretion to seal some records they deem sensitive for some good reason. Family court records (which usually oversees Domestic Violence proceedings) can sometimes fall into this category. Go to the Clerk of the Court's office and inquire. If you have the name of the case, and it is not sealed, you should be able to review the case record.

Can a husband hire a private investigator to follow his wife during a divorce in Texas even if the wife has a temporary restraining order against the husband?

The answer to this questions really on what exactly the restraining order says. Restraining orders typically have a list of specifically prohibitted behavior (don't call, email, tslk, etc.) and they usually have orders prohibitting harassment in general (i.e. do not annoy. alarm, harass, etc.). These orders usually apply to conduct by third parties acting at your request, like using your mom to call the ex wife, etc. The safest thing to do is contact legal counsel in Texas to review the order and get a more definite answer.
