Key Insights on Assault & Battery Laws in Texas

Many factors can determine if an assault & battery is a misdemeanor or felony offense. A simple threat or a slight touch may result in a misdemeanor with minor penalties or dismissed case. A major assault & battery crime involving domestic violence, gang-related activities, or injuries to a victim can carry maximum penalties for the offender. Penalties can include incarceration, large fines and court costs, anger management counseling, community service, and other penalties that a judge determines is appropriate to the crime.

A prosecution must produce evidence and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime of assault & battery occurred. A defense can challenge each piece of evidence including:

  • Search and seizure warrants
  • Police arrest procedures and reports
  • Victim and witness statements
  • Forensics

It is essential to have a defense that can detect the weaknesses in a prosecution case. Doug Atkinson is experienced in the courtroom and knows how to get the desired results for his clients. Make an appointment today for a consultation regarding an assault & battery case.
