Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

assault with bodily injuries

My boyfriend was arrested for assault on a pregnant woman with bodily injuries while intoxicated. Will he face charges even if I don't press charges? If so, what will the charges be? There are also pending felony charges against him, which he is waiting for his court date.

He needs to hire a lawyer TODAY.
