Collin County Assault & Family Violence Lawyers
Fighting for the Accused for Over a Decade
Any assault is considered a crime of violence in Texas. Assault can be committed against others resulting in misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the circumstances of the case. However, it carries the most severe penalties when committed against certain individuals, such as family or household members (known as family violence), or when committed against certain public servants, such as government employees, firefighters, EMTs, judges, or law enforcement.

Simple Assault vs. Aggravated Assault in Texas
Assault can be charged as simple assault or aggravated assault, depending on the circumstances. Any assault, however, is defined as threatening to cause or actually causing bodily injury or making physical contact with the alleged victim that is offensive or provocative. These actions must be done “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly.”
It is important to note that per the legal definition of assault, you can be charged with this offense without having made any physical contact with the alleged victim. Threats of doing so, such as raising your fists without striking, can be viewed as assault. Furthermore, offensive or provocative contact could include poking, grabbing someone in a sexual manner, or other actions.
You can be charged with simple assault when a bodily injury is minor such as a cut or bruise. You can be charged with aggravated assault when the injury is more severe and requires medical attention, such as for broken bones or internal damage.
