An assault charge in Austin can have serious implications, even if no physical injury occurred. Understanding what constitutes assault and how to defend against these charges is crucial.

What Legally Qualifies as Assault in Texas?

Under Texas Penal Code § 22.01, assault can include:

  • Causing bodily injury to another person
  • Threatening imminent bodily harm to someone
  • Causing offensive or provocative physical contact with someone

Even verbal threats or aggressive contact may qualify as assault under Texas law.

Penalties for Assault in Austin

  • Class C Misdemeanor: Fine up to $500
  • Class A Misdemeanor: Up to 1 year in jail and/or a $4,000 fine
  • Third-Degree Felony: 2 to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine

Building a Strong Defense

If you’ve been charged with assault in Austin, a seasoned defense attorney will explore key questions in your case, including:

  • Did your actions meet the legal definition of assault under Texas law?
  • Can the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the alleged assault occurred?
  • Were there any mitigating factors, such as self-defense or lack of intent?

 

An experienced lawyer may be able to argue for a reduction in charges, pursue a case dismissal, or negotiate alternative sentencing.
