What Is Considered Domestic Violence in Texas?
In Texas, domestic violence is a criminal offense, referred to as “family violence” and can include:
- Physical harm or assault against a family or household member
- Threats of violence
- Stalking or harassment
- Violations of protective orders
Family or household members include spouses, dating partners, exes, parents, children, roommates, and anyone related by blood or marriage.
You can be arrested even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. In Texas, the state can pursue prosecution regardless of the victim’s wishes.
Common Domestic Violence Charges
We defend clients in Dallas facing charges such as:
- Assault – Family Violence
- Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon
- Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Person
- Interference with 911 Calls
Violation of a Protective Order - Continuous Family Violence
Even a first-time offense can result in jail time and serious consequences. Multiple offenses may be charged as felonies.
What Are the Penalties?
Depending on the nature of the offense, you could end up looking at felony assault charges, among other possible misdemeanor or felony charges. Domestic violence charges can range from Class A misdemeanors to serious felonies, with potential penalties including:
- Up to 1 year in jail for misdemeanor assault
- 2 to 20 years in prison for aggravated or repeat offenses
- Fines up to $10,000
- Mandatory counseling or anger management classes
- Permanent criminal record
- Loss of gun rights under federal law
Even a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence can stay with you for a long time, and a deferred adjudication does not automatically expunge your record. A conviction can also affect employment, immigration status, and child custody.
How We Defend Domestic Violence Charges
At Collin County Law Group, we understand the complexity and sensitivity of family violence cases. False accusations and misunderstandings are common—especially during divorce, custody disputes, or highly emotional situations.
We take immediate steps to investigate the facts, including:
- Interviewing witnesses
- Reviewing police bodycam footage and 911 calls
- Challenging the credibility of the accuser
- Exposing inconsistencies in the state’s case
An arrest is not the end of your case. In many ways, it’s only the beginning. An experienced domestic violence defense lawyer can provide you with a sound defense strategy built on evidence that proves your side of the story. In many cases, we are able to get charges reduced, dismissed, or resolve matters through deferred adjudication or other non-jail alternatives.
