Texas Battery Defense Attorney

Arrested For a Serious Offense? Know Your Options.

While many states separate and treat assault and battery as two different crimes, Texas uses the same elements to prove battery as they would to prove assault.

What Is Battery in Law?

In law, battery occurs when an individual intentionally causes bodily harm, threatens the victim, or knowingly makes physical contact with the victim in a violent manner. It is a physical act that results in offensive or harmful contact with another person without that person's consent.

The Reality of a Battery Charge

Texas’ assault and battery laws consider such offenses to range from a Class C misdemeanor to a second-degree felony. As a misdemeanor, you may be facing a monetary fine of up to $500 and as a felony, you may be facing up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. At our firm, we make it our duty to stand by your side and build the best possible case on your behalf to fight the charges you face.

There are a number of factors considered in battery offenses, including:

  • Your relationship to the victim
  • Past convictions
  • Why type of violent behavior was involved
