What Is The Difference Between Assault And Battery?
In many states, these are separate crimes involving threats and physical contact. However, Texas law combines them under the single definition of assault. You can face an assault charge if you intentionally cause physical pain or touch someone in an offensive manner. The state can also charge you for threatening someone with imminent bodily injury.
Will A Violent Crime Charge Affect My Gun Rights?
Yes, a conviction for a violent crime significantly impacts your right to own a firearm. Under Texas and federal law, anyone convicted of a felony loses their gun rights entirely. Even certain misdemeanor convictions, such as domestic violence, trigger a lifetime ban on possessing weapons. Restoring these rights is a complex process and is not always possible. Mr. Gladden works hard to protect your constitutional rights by fighting to keep your record clean.
What Are The Penalties For Homicide In Texas?
Homicide penalties in Texas depend on the specific charge, ranging from criminally negligent homicide to capital murder. A conviction can result in a state jail felony or a first-degree felony, carrying sentences from two years to life in prison. In the most severe cases involving capital murder, the state may even seek the death penalty. Because the stakes involve your life and liberty, you must have dedicated criminal defense representation to challenge the prosecution’s evidence.
