Facing an assault charge?
- The Process
What to Expect After an Assault Case
An experienced Texas assault lawyer guides you through each step to protect your rights and build a strong defense.
Arrest or Complaint Filed

Bail & Release Conditions
You may be released on bail with conditions such as no-contact orders or other restrictions that must be followed carefully.
Arraignment & Charges Explained
You appear in court where the charges are formally presented, and you enter your plea with legal guidance.
Evidence Review & Defense Strategy
Your lawyer examines all evidence, including reports and witness statements, to build a strong and tailored defense.
Negotiation or Pre-Trial Proceedings
Your attorney may negotiate with prosecutors or file motions to reduce charges, suppress evidence, or strengthen your position.
Trial or Case Resolution
When the matter remains unresolved, it may progress further within the court system before being concluded.
- Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an assault charge be dropped if the victim doesn’t want to press charges?
Not always. In Texas, the decision to pursue or drop charges is made by the prosecutor, not the alleged victim. Even if the other person changes their mind, the case can still move forward based on available evidence.
Will an assault charge stay on my record permanently?
It can, unless action is taken. A conviction may stay on your criminal record, but in some cases, options like dismissal, expunction, or nondisclosure may be available depending on how your case is resolved.
Can I go to jail for a first-time assault charge in Texas?
Yes, depending on the severity. Even a first-time offense can lead to jail time, fines, or probation, especially if there are aggravating factors like injury, prior history, or involvement of a protected individual.
