Assault Cases

Are you facing assault or family violence charges in San Antonio or south Texas?

Being convicted of any assault, even if it does not involve family violence, can carry serious penalties and leave you with a permanent criminal record. Your future employment opportunities can be put at risk, along with your financial health and livelihood. Texas law enforcement takes assault cases very seriously, especially when they involve domestic (family) violence or a peace officer. If arrested, you could face either misdemeanor or felony charges. In some cases, actual physical touching or hitting is not required to file an assault charge against you. Knowledge is crucial in your case, and further information can be obtained by contacting a San Antonio Assault and family violence Attorney, Rolando Ramos.

What exactly is assault? While laws can vary from state to state, in Texas it is defined in three ways:

• Causing bodily injury to another intentionally and recklessly
• Threatening another intentionally and knowingly with imminent injury to the body
• Intentionally causing physical contact that can be regarded as provocative or offensive

In other words, a common misunderstanding is that physical contact must be made to be charged with assault. This is not the case - a heated argument in and of itself can lead to an arrest. When the assault involves an emergency worker, security guard, public servant, or domestic violence, charges and potential punishment can be harsher.
