If you’ve been charged with assault in Texas, you could potentially face some serious consequences, including a lengthy prison sentence. Assault is typically considered to be a violent crime and prosecutors may aggressively pursue the harshest penalty depending on the circumstances of your case. If you’re facing assault charges in the Fort Bend County area or Harris County area, you need to know what to expect.

Under the Texas Penal Code, one can be convicted of assault if one “intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes or threatens bodily injury to another person” or if one “intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another person or persons with the knowledge that the person will consider that contact to be offensive or undesirable.” (See Texas Penal Code § 22.01(a) below.)

The Criminal Defense Process in Texas

An assault may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depending upon the circumstances of the case (see Texas Penal Code § 22.01(b) and (c)). If a public servant or elderly individual is assaulted, one may face enhanced penalties (see Texas Penal Code § 22.01(d)).

More often than not, simple assault is combined with domestic violence and orders of protection (see Texas Penal Code § 22.01(e)). Any domestic assault—commonly referred to as Assault Family Violence (AFV)—will often be linked to family and/or civil law cases. In order to prevent criminal, civil or family consequences, an experienced Houston trial attorney is mandatory.

Due to the serious ramifications of an assault or AFV conviction, Jason Lawrence is dedicated to providing you with a professional, aggressive defense against all types of assault charges. Depending on the severity of the offense, punishment ranges from a $500 fine to 20 years in prison. The alleged damage to the victim, the method of assault and any prior convictions or history are necessary factors in evaluating the case.

If you have been charged with assault or assault family violence, contact attorney Jason Lawrence at (832) 356-4404 immediately. He is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ease your concerns and protect your freedom.

• You had no way of knowing that the alleged victim would interpret your words or actions as threatening

Got the job done quickly

I hired Jason for an Order of Nondisclosure for a case that was 17 years old. I called several attorneys for my case but Jason seemed to be the only one that was interested in helping me complete my request. Jason was very informative and responded to all of my emails. My request was completed and approve within a month of hiring Jason. I really appreciate Jason acting very quickly to resolve my issue.

Adoption

We hired Jason for my husband to adopt my children. He was able to take our payments through our credit card and allowed us to make payments. Also we loved that he charged a flat rate rather than hourly. It took only 8 months to finalize the adoption and it went very smoothly. I highly recommend using Jason.

Got my case completely dismissed

I was charged with simple assault in Brazoria County over a bogus charge my ex girlfriend put on me. I only had to go to court twice and Jason got the charges completely dropped after talking to the prosecutor. Would recommend him to everyone!
