EXPONER LA VERDAD

Secretos del sistema de justicia penal de Texas y sus derechos

Facing a domestic violence charge in the state of Texas can have serious consequences, including substantial fines and potential incarceration. Accusations of domestic violence carry significant weight, impacting families, relationships, and reputations. In situations like these, having an experienced Texas domestic violence lawyer, well-versed in the state legal system, is crucial.

Understanding Family Violence

As per Title 4, Sec. 71.004 of the Texas Penal Code, family violence is characterized by actions directed toward a family or household member, intending to instill fear of physical harm, bodily injury, domestic assault, or sexual assault. It encompasses acts intended to cause physical harm, injury, assault, or sexual assault and excludes acts of self-defense.

Dating Violence Defined

Under the same code, dating violence involves similar actions directed toward someone with whom the accused has had a romantic or intimate relationship (Texas Penal Code Title 4 Sec. 71.0021). Factors like the type and frequency of interactions determine the existence of such a relationship, impacting the accuser’s credibility and playing a vital role in building a defense.

Penalties for Domestic Violence

Both family and dating violence charges carry harsh penalties in Texas, ranging from a class C misdemeanor to a second-degree felony, potentially leading to a 20-year prison sentence. Repeat offenses may escalate the severity of punishment, emphasizing the need for a robust defense to mitigate the impact on an individual’s record.

Convictions may also result in unexpected consequences, such as a five-year post-conviction firearm ownership restriction, and ongoing stringent firearm use limitations. The stigma associated with dating or family violence accusations can have lasting effects on an individual’s ability to form future relationships, making it crucial to address these allegations and seek a fresh start.

In a case of domestic violence charges, the role of our defense attorneys is to ascertain the events and determine who, if anyone, is to blame.
