Court documents say Torres slammed a laptop shut on the hands of a woman he was dating.
He also allegedly pulled her to the ground by a handcuff he put on her wrist and threatened to tase her.
Torres made his initial appearance in court on Wednesday night.
The judge granted the woman a protective order.
The Houston Police Department said Torres was relieved of duty pending further investigation by the Internal Affairs Division.
HPD said Torres was assigned to the Midwest Patrol Division.
