Aggravated Assault Laws in TX
Section 22.02 of the Texas Penal Code contains the laws that dictate the maximum possible punishments for aggravated assault. Many conditions can impact the sentencing in our case as a whole. There are two primary elements in an aggravated assault charge, and it is up to the prosecutor to prove that the defendant is culpable for both of these.
These are these the two main elements of aggravated assault charges:
- The defendant used a deadly weapon (e.g., knife, firearm, blade, brass knuckles, poison, or explosives) to knowingly or intentionally cause harm to another person.
- The victim of the incident sustained serious bodily injury.
Aggravated assault is considered a second-degree felony unless there are additional circumstances that may constitute a first-degree felony. One example would be if the defendant committed the above acts against a police officer or another person of the law. As a Dallas criminal defense attorney, Mr. Mathur can use his keen insight of the laws to determine whether or not there is validity to such serious charges.
