Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between simple assault and aggravated assault in Texas?
Simple assault generally involves causing or threatening bodily injury, while aggravated assault involves serious bodily injury or the use/exhibition of a deadly weapon, and carries significantly more severe penalties.
Yes. A family violence conviction, and in some cases even an active protective order, can trigger firearm restrictions under both Texas and federal law.
In Texas, the decision to prosecute belongs to the state, not the individual complainant — so charges can proceed even if the alleged victim wants them dropped, though their cooperation (or lack of it) can still affect the case.
Violating a protective order — even with the other party’s consent or invitation — can result in new, separate criminal charges. Always consult your attorney before any contact while an order is in place.
