Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I call the police on my husband yesterday because he grab me by the back of my neck and pus me on the floor. He didn't choke me nor cause me to loose breathe or to be unconcience. The officer said. He was going to be charged with felony 3 though he is 29 and has never been in trouble with the law. Is this a fair sentence?
