Texas assault charges: simple assault is typically Class A or C misdemeanor (assault); aggravated forms can reach up to 99 yrs (with serious bodily injury / weapon).

Criminal Appeals in Texas

Cyber Crime Defense in Texas

Texas cyber-crime cases combine state computer-crime statutes with federal CFAA and other digital-crime laws. Federal prosecution is common for major cases.

Texas's record-clearing process is called expunction or non-disclosure. Reasonable but selective — many offenses are eligible, but certain categories (violent, sex, DUI in some states) are usually excluded.

Federal Criminal Charges in Texas

Texas federal criminal charges differ from state — federal sentencing guidelines, mandatory minimums, no parole, and 90%+ conviction rates. Specialized federal-experienced counsel essential.

Texas divides offenses into felonies (more serious) and misdemeanors (less serious). Capital, 1st-degree, 2nd-degree, 3rd-degree, state-jail felonies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the charges be dropped if the other person doesn't want to press charges?

Not necessarily — prosecutors decide. A lawyer can still build a defense and negotiate.

Will a domestic violence charge affect custody?

It can. Coordinate your criminal defense with any family court case.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in Balcones Heights?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
