Texas Assault Charges
Assault
Assault charges can range from a misdemeanor simple assault to domestic assault up to felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The penalties for an assault conviction in Texas can be severe. If you are arrested for a domestic assault, not only can your parental rights be jeopardized, there is also the possibility of jail time and a heavy fine. In Texas, you can be charged with a felony if you are arrested for a second domestic violence charge. In addition to facing a jail or prison sentence, you could also be barred from owning a firearm, and, if you are not a U.S. citizen, an assault case may lead to deportation or denial of citizenship. Further, many assault cases involve protective orders which may prevent you from being with family members and staying at your own home.
