Facing Assault Charges? Contact a TX Criminal Defense Lawyer
An assault charge can derail a person’s future in an instant. Oftentimes
committed in conjunction with
battery, assault is by definition an “intentional act by one person that
creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive
contact.” Under this definition, the act of instilling fear of harm
in another person is punishable in and of itself, regardless of whether
or not any actual physical contact takes place. This loose definition
opens up the possibility for a person to easily make false allegations
of assault.
