Punishment for Assault and Violent Offenses
Assault and other violent offenses can be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony and there are many ways an assault charge could be elevated to a felony offense. For example, if a weapon was used, you may be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, which is considered a felony offense in Texas. When guns, knives or other weapons are used in an assault case, the charges will almost always be enhanced to felony charges, and if this situation applies to your case, then you most definitely need to seek the help of a qualified attorney because you face increasingly severe penalties if convicted.
