Houston Domestic Violence Attorney
Domestic Violence Charges in Texas
An argument can quickly turn into a serious legal matter when a spouse, family member or neighbor calls 911. Once law enforcement is involved, the case quickly can spin out of control. The alleged victim will not have the power to refuse to press charges, and law enforcement will more than likely make an arrest once they are called to the scene.
In Texas, domestic violence is a criminal offense that is treated very harshly by both law enforcement personnel and prosecuting attorneys. After law enforcement makes an arrest, it will be in the hands of the prosecutor to decide whether to press charges.
Understanding the Domestic Violence Charges Against You
Domestic violence, also referred to as family violence, is generally defined as any
assault on a relative or household member. A first offense of this kind may result
in imprisonment for up to 1 year and fines of up to $4,000. Repeat offenders
will likely face felony charges and increased penalties, and this also
applies in cases involving serious bodily injury.
Domestic violence may be entirely physical in nature or may also involve
emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or child endangerment. In either
case, it is important to receive representation from a knowledgeable legal
guide at our firm. We offer
free evaluations!
