Advice ig, ex gave me HSV1 everywhere knowingly

I posted for COURT advice in the courts reddit but the only comments I get are kind of blaming me I feel. I explained what had happened and basically asked if I should hire a lawyer and stuff, people just tell me to “block him and move on”. I’m just so sad I’m crying in bed right now over people on reddit lol

So basically he lied when I specifically asked if he had mouth sores bc he wanted to do oral sex on me, he said no, I let him. 2 weeks later I am breaking out and confront him and he says “I haven’t had sores in like 2 weeks! if you’re breaking out rn it’s from yourself doing something” … he just totally accidentally admitted he lied (and herpes obviously has an incubation period and some people don’t show symptoms for soooo long!)

I haven’t spoke to him since Nov 21 when he assaulted me. I filed for an order of protection Nov 26, the court/police/whoever is in responsible for serving him, just haven’t and won’t even try basically to get him served. I go to court for the 2nd time now on Monday,

basically I’m looking for some basic advice: how to imply that even though he’s not directly been contacting me and is in Texas as of now, I am totally still terrified (he has his own apartment in the town & state where I live until June). He has my other house key too, and my landlord won’t change my locks, I have begged her. also- Should I try to get a lawyer when we take the criminal charges to court ? His family is incredibly wealthy and honestly I am not, they’ve sent me hush money to drop this and I just feel so entitled to try to put SOMETHING on his record about this so other girls he may try to date can casenet him and proceed with caution. I don’t know if the public prosecutor or whoever is going to fight for me at the level I feel I need someone to. I just feel really alone and my family and friends don’t support me doing this, they say I need to move on and just not think about it anymore.

I’m sorry I typed so much. Basically, if anyone has been to court like at all really, how should I proceed to prepare for it? (I regularly get blood tested for HSV, and have never tested positive until after this- they did a vaginal swab this time).
