Civil domestic violence case for stalking no criminal charge

I had a restraining order filed against me for Civil domestic violence for stalking, but no criminal charges were filed. Could that prevent me from getting a Portuguese golden visa?

All residence visas for Portugal are subject to the analysis of the criminal antecedents of the applicant. The permit shall be denied if the applicant has been convicted of a crime that, in Portugal, is punishable with a prison sentence of more than one year, even if this has not been served or its execution has been suspended. A concrete answer regarding restraining orders would always depend on the content of the applicant's criminal record certificate.
