Assault

Assault

In the state of Texas, assault encompasses a significant threat or act of violence occurring between members of a family or household. Even if the alleged offender is not part of the household, charges of family violence can be brought forward if there is a past or current marital or dating relationship with the victim. An individual accused may face assault with family violence charges, regardless of injury as the incident involved any form of physical contact.

If you are facing accusations of assault, stalking, or harassment, prompt retention of legal counsel is imperative to your case’s success. The consequences of these offenses can be severe, and notably, family violence cases do not qualify for expunction. Even a plea to deferred adjunction will permanently remain on your criminal record.
