Assault: A Broad Overview
Assault is defined as one of these three types of acts:
- Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing physical bodily injury to another person.
- Intentionally or knowingly threatening another person with imminent bodily injury.
- Intentionally or knowingly causing physical contact with another in an offensive or provocative way.
What This Means
Texas law says you can be charged for acts that are obvious assaults, such as kicking, punching or choking someone, but also says you can be charged under assault for merely saying you are about to hurt a person if that person has a reasonable fear that you will actually hurt them. You need to know that simple disagreements that turn into charged and heated verbal fights can be criminal assault. If you have hurt someone or think you may have threatened someone, our criminal defense lawyers are ready to protect your rights and aggressively fight for you.
Assaultive Charges
Texas law provides for several kinds of assaultive offenses, including:
- Assault
- Aggravated assault
- Deadly conduct
- Injury to a child, elderly individual or disabled individual
- Terroristic threat
- Aiding suicide
- Tampering With consumer product
Family Violence
A primary concern of our criminal defense lawyers is defending against a finding of family violence. A finding of family violence carrying serious consequences, not only for the type and extent of punishment in the instant case but should future allegations arise, a number of enhancement possibilities come into play. A misdemeanor of family violence conviction also prevents legally possessing a firearm.

Great attorney. Has gone above and beyond to be upfront, clear, and most of all professional. Been a very long time I could say such nice words about an attorney.
Bob was a savior at a very traumatic time where I had to probate a family estate. There were some issues that were going to arise if it wasn't handled quickly, and he swooped in and took care of it pronto. I can't imagine having to deal with this without someone so trustworthy on your side.
I'm so thankful I had him in my corner, and I would absolutely recommend him if anyone needed assistance with probate problems or any other legal issues.

The range of punishment for an assaultive offense is quite large. If you are charged with causing serious bodily injury to someone or of using a deadly weapon during the act it becomes a second-degree felony, which carries a possible punishment of up to 20 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. A knowledgeable, aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney could be the difference between slight or severe punishment. We are currently serving Montgomery County, Harris County, Walker County, and Grimes County. Call (936) 539-1011 to schedule your free consultation with a GCH Lawyer.
