What is Considered Simple Assault in Texas?

Texas law recognizes a charge called "simple assault," which is a Class C misdemeanor that can carry a maximum punishment of a $500 fine.

You cannot be given a jail or prison sentence for this type of offense. It is important to note that actual violence need not occur to result in a simple assault charge. Merely threatening someone could bring about a criminal arrest. 

Simple assault charges may include:

  • Assault by threat
  • Touching another individual in a way that was offensive

Class A Misdemeanor

If an offender allegedly causes bodily injury (i.e., pain) to another person, he or she will be charged with a Class A Misdemeanor. Unlike simple assault, some type of bodily injury must occur in order to be charged with this type of assault.

Potential penalties may include:

  • Up to 1 year in county jail
  • Up to $4,000 in legal fines

Is Assault a Felony in Texas?

A felony in Texas, and in general, is a more serious violation. A third-degree felony Texas assault charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000. You may be charged with a third-degree felony if:

  • You assault someone you know is a public servant or government contractor
  • You have a previous domestic violence conviction, and you commit assault against a family member or someone you are romantically involved with

What is Aggravated Assault in Texas?

If an offender allegedly causes "serious bodily injury" or threatens to do so, he or she will be charged with Aggravated Assault, which is a second-degree felony.

Consequences may include:

  • 2 to 20 year range of punishment
  • Up to $10,000 in fines
  • Felony Conviction

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

If an offender allegedly strikes another with a deadly weapon or merely exhibits a deadly weapon in a threatening manner, he or she will likely face a second-degree felony charge.

You may face the following criminal repercussions:

  • Sentence range of 2-20 years
  • Up to $10,000 in fines
  • Felony Conviction
