Aggravated Assault Attorney McKinney

That is why you need an experienced criminal defense attorney to fight for your rights. It is important that your attorney communicate the right information to the court so your constitutional rights are protected.

What Is Aggravated Assault?

Aggravated assault is defined by Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 22.01, 22.02, which states that it consists of…

  • intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing serious bodily injury to another person, or
  • using or exhibiting a deadly weapon in the course of committing any assault crime, including threatening another with bodily injury or engaging in conduct that the victim likely will find offensive.

Serious injury is more than just a bump or a scrape; it is life-threatening or disfiguring. In order to be convicted of aggravated assault, the prosecution doesn’t have to prove you intentionally caused the injury, just that you disregarded the risk of harm. If you used a deadly weapon, proving aggravated assault is much more simple.

Penalties of Aggravated Assault

If you are convicted of aggravated assault, you risk spending a large amount of time in prison. It is crucial that you have exceptional legal representation throughout the court process. Penalties for aggravated assault charges are the following:

  • Second-degree felony – from two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000
  • First-degree felony – from five to 99 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000
