Texas Laws on Assault Charges

In the state of Texas, assault is a serious criminal charge that is often prosecuted aggressively. Victims of criminal assault will seek compensation for their injuries in addition to the criminal charges that you are up against, which means you need an attorney that can defend you inside and outside of court.

If you are tried and convicted of simple assault, aggravated assault, or any assault-related charged, you could see:

• Jail or prison time, and the length of time will vary depending on previous convictions, if the assault included a weapon, and the relationship of the victim to you.
• Fines and restitution
• Mandatory anger management courses
• Community service
• Probation
• Restricted orders against you enacted by the victim
• Loss of jobs and income
• Loss of personal relationships

In addition to complications you could see on a criminal level, assault could also have a direct negative impact on your personal life. Family law trials will take into consideration assault convictions and you may have difficulty obtaining gainful employment with these convictions on your record.
