4 Examples of Aggravated Assault

Posted By The Law Offices of Jeffrey C. Grass || 13-Jul-2012

In Texas, a person may be charged with aggravated assault only if he or she commits the offense along with an additional wrongful act considered by the law to increase the severity of the crime. Therefore, it is critical to hire a criminal defense lawyer to represent your case if you are charged with such a crime. Here are four common instances of acts classified as aggravated assault under Texas law:

1. Assault with a Deadly Weapon

A person who commits an assault while using or exhibiting a deadly weapon may be charged with aggravated assault. Under Texas law, a “deadly weapon” is a firearm or any other object that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.

2. Assault Causing Serious Bodily Injury

Anyone who commits an assault that results in serious bodily injury to another, regardless of whether or not a deadly weapon is employed, may be charged with aggravated assault.

3. Assault Against a Family Member

A person who uses a deadly weapon to commit an assault causing serious bodily injury to a family member or a member of his or her own household is guilty of aggravated assault in the first degree.

4. Assault from a Motor Vehicle

Anyone who commits an assault by knowingly discharging a firearm at or in the direction of a habitation, building, or vehicle while in a motor vehicle is guilty of aggravated assault. Additionally, a person who causes serious bodily injury to any person as the result of discharging the firearm may be charged with aggravated assault in the first degree.
