- Assault and Battery

- Manslaughter or Attempted Murder
We know how prosecutors handle these cases — and we know how to fight back.
Understanding Assault Charges in Texas
Under Texas law, assault means intentionally causing or threatening harm to another person. You don’t have to hit someone to be charged — just making a threat or unwanted contact can count.
There are two main levels of assault:
| Type of Assault | Penalties |
|---|---|
| Simple Assault (Misdemeanor) | Up to 1 year in jail, fines up to $4,000 |
| Aggravated Assault (Felony) | 2–20 years in prison, larger fines, probation |
An aggravated assault charge usually means serious injury or the use of a weapon. These are felony cases that carry long-term consequences.
Domestic Violence Defense in San Antonio
Domestic violence charges can happen fast — often after a heated argument, misunderstanding, or call to police. These cases involve:
- Spouses or romantic partners
- Roommates or family members
- Protective or no-contact orders
Even if the alleged victim doesn’t want to press charges, the court can still move forward. You need a domestic violence defense lawyer who understands the system and knows how to protect your side of the story.
