Dallas Domestic Violence Attorney Fighting Serious Charges

Domestic violence encompasses a variety of criminal offenses that involve any type of abusive action committed by one family member against another. While there is no specific domestic violence charge or statute, criminal courts will typically prosecute individuals with some type of assault or battery offense when the victim is a family member.

By legal definition, family members may include:

  • Children
  • Siblings
  • Domestic Partners
  • Immediate Relatives
  • Spouses
  • Parents

Domestic Violence Penalties in Texas

Texas courts have the ability to prosecute domestic violence offenses as either misdemeanors or felonies. Charges will depend on a number of circumstances involved in a case, including the nature of the offense, whether or not serious bodily harm was caused and the accused individual's criminal record.

If convicted of domestic violence, the penalties include:

  • Class C Misdemeanor - A $500 fine
  • Class A Misdemeanor - Up to a $4,000 fine and/or up to a year in jail
  • 3rd degree felony - Up to a $10,000 fine and a 2 to 20-year prison sentence

Felony allegations will result in mandatory terms of imprisonment.

Effects of a Domestic Violence Conviction on Your Life

Your conviction can affect your ability to:

  • Pass employment background checks
