Assault and battery are separate criminal charges often grouped together in criminal cases. The definition of assault is the attempt or threat of violence and battery is the actual, intentional touching or hitting of another person, against their will. In addition, we handle serious aggravated assault cases. The Texas Penal Code defines aggravated assault as:

22.02. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person...:
(1) causes serious bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse; or
(2) uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault.

Assault convictions are classified as felonies and carry serious penalties. A simple assault in which no injuries occur is usually a Class C Misdemeanor but can carry up to one year of jail time. Aggravated assault charges in some circumstances can be classified as a first degree felony with penalties of up to life imprisonment. You need the best legal protection available to defend you against these types of charges. A criminal conviction will have serious a long-reaching consequences in all areas of your life.
