Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: criminal charge

Aggravated assault is defined in the Texas Penal Code Section 22.02.

It is a second degree felony, except certain circumstances can upgrade the charge to a 1st degree felony.

The range of punishment for a second degree felony is 2-20 years and up to a $10,000 fine.

The range, including the option of probation or deferred, depends upon the circumstances of the case.

Re: criminal charge

Although the max punishment for a second degree felony conviction may be 2-20 yrs in prison and even a fine of $10,000.00, I would not talk about a conviction yet without knowing the facts of your case. I would be happy to give you a free consultation to help you evaluate your situation. It's not always as difficult as it may seem. There are many factors to consider, such as type of conduct, constitutional violations by the police during your arrest, prior record, immigration status, work history, etc. Also, there are ways to avoid going to prison and get out on probation to do community service instead. Call me, I may be able to help you. Good luck.
