Accusations of Domestic Violence?

⚖️ Get Help ASAP! 

There are 3 types of domestic violence in Texas:

  1. Domestic assault. An act of violence, even just a verbal threat, against a victim who is in an intimate relationship with the defendant. These relationships must be proven in court and also have their own classification (listed below).
  2. Aggravated domestic assault. If the accused committed serious bodily injury to the victim or was caught using a deadly weapon during the assault or while threatening the assault, then Texas deems this “aggravated domestic assault.” These acts are committed typically with deadly weapons.
  3. Continuous violence. When a defendant has already been involved in 2 or more domestic assaults, then a “continuous violence against the family” charge may be brought to court. This charge applies even if the previous cases were only arrests and not convictions.

Charges like these are serious and have life-changing consequences. We're here to protect your rights and provide the defense you deserve.  Give us a call today for a free consultation.🧑‍⚖️
