We Protect Clients Accused of Aggravated Assault in Houston
TX Penal Code § 22.02 defines aggravated assault as one that “causes serious bodily injury to another” or “uses/exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault.” This definition is important because it tells the courts what prosecutors must prove to get a conviction.
Our Houston aggravated assault lawyer will investigate your charges independently to determine if they missed any essential elements and point them out favorably. Walter J. Pink & Associates, PC protects Houston clients accused of Texas aggravated assault charges, including first- and second-degree felony assault.
Our Houston assault defense lawyers will strive to get you the compensation you deserve.
Texas Punishes Aggravated Assault Charges Severely
Texas also clearly states what penalties are on the line for aggravated assault charges under TX Penal Code § 12.01. As such, you should know that the penalties are harsh if prosecutors can get a conviction against you.
Our Houston aggravated assault lawyer will defend you against the following potential penalties:
Second-Degree Felony Penalties
Unless otherwise stipulated, Texas charges aggravated assault as a second-degree felony. If prosecutors can prove their allegations against you, potential conviction penalties for a second-degree aggravated assault conviction could include up to 20 years of imprisonment and $10,000 in fines.
First-Degree Felony Penalties
