Assault Penalties in Texas:
Simple assault is often classified as a Class A misdemeanor, carrying a maximum county jail sentence of one year and a fine of up to $4,000. However, the prosecution may elevate the charge to a third-degree felony, resulting in a prison sentence between two and 10 years, along with a fine of up to $10,000.
A misdemeanor assault charge may escalate to a felony if:
- The assault was committed against a family member or significant other, and you have a prior domestic violence conviction.
- The defendant knew the victim was a public servant or government contractor on official duty, or the assault was in retaliation against a public servant doing their job.
- The defendant knew the victim was an emergency services worker or security guard, and the assault occurred while they were on duty.
An assault involving threats or touching is a Class C misdemeanor, with only a fine of up to $500.
