What Is Assault in Texas?
Assault could be threatening to attack/injure someone, physically hitting them, throwing an object at their person, and a number of other actions. There is also aggravated assault, which is assault involving serious bodily injury and/or the exhibition of a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault.
What Can You Be Charged With?
Simple assault can be charged as a Class B or Class A misdemeanor, or as a third-degree felony depending on the degree of injury and whether or not the offense was against an officer, firefighter, paramedic, or other public servant. Aggravated assault is a second- or first-degree felony.
Class B misdemeanors incur a fine of up to $2,000, a jail sentence of up to a year, or both. First-degree felonies incur a prison sentence of 5 years to life, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

"Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter."I don't even know where to begin to describe the amazing job accomplished by Conner and the Haugen Law Firm Team in my divorce case that spanned the course of nearly 4 years! Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter. His work is thorough, very organized, professional, detailed, aggressive, and effective- a true class act! Conner and the whole team put me at ease during the most difficult time in my life. No human should have to go to court the extreme amount that I had to in my very litigious divorce, but I was always confident with Conner as my representation and advocate. Hiring him was the best decision I made in this whole process. I am forever grateful to Conner and the whole Haugen Law Firm team for their hard work and dedication in my case. Highly recommend!
