Texas Domestic Violence Laws

Under Texas law, three different crimes fall under the category of domestic violence. The possible criminal charges include domestic assault, aggravated domestic assault, and continuous violence against the family. In all cases, the alleged perpetrator and victim are members of the same family, live in the same household, or are currently or formerly involved in a romantic or dating relationship.

Family or household members include:

• Current and former spouses
• People with a child together
• A parent
• Children of a current or former spouse
• Those related by blood, adoption, or marriage
• People living in the same household
• Those in, or formerly in, a romantic relationship

Depending on the specific circumstances, domestic violence situations can result in misdemeanor or felony charges. While felony charges generally carry more significant criminal penalties, any conviction can have long-term consequences. For this reason, waiting to consult with a domestic violence lawyer could be costly.
