Try something like this:

try {
            DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);

            df.setLenient(false);
            Date dateFrom = df.parse(txtFrom.getText().trim());
            Date dateTo = df.parse(txtTo.getText().trim());

           if ( dateTo.before(dateFrom) ) { ....}
} catch (ParseException e) {
   ....
}
