Hempstead, Texas/Waller County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan represents many clients—mostly men—accused of Domestic Assault Family Violence for allegedly causing bodily injury to their spouse or family member. This is a serious offense. For a man to be convicted of intentionally and knowingly causing bodily injury (“pain”) to a woman, it is a crime of moral turpitude. If the accused receives a deferred adjudication and successfully completes the terms of probation, it is not a conviction. However, if the accused were later accused of a second Assault Family Violence, he or she would be charged with a felony offense. Knowing this, it is usually better to fight the first case than the second case because if the accused wins a dismissal or an acquittal on the first case, then the second case if any is only a misdemeanor. If the Assault occurs by way of choking, then it can be charged as a felony offense irrespective of whether or not it is the accused’s first offense.
