Assault and Battery in Texas

While assault and battery are considered separate crimes in some states, they are often committed in conjunction with one another. Assault generally refers to the threat of bodily injury whereas battery generally refers to the physical infliction of bodily injury. However, in Texas, the term assault is used when referring to all assaultive offenses.

What Are the Assault Charges in Texas?

Assault and aggravated assault charges can be devastating, and a charge is very serious. According to Texas Penal Code § 22.01, a person commits assault if they:

• Intentionally or recklessly cause bodily injury to another person
• Intentionally threaten another person with imminent bodily injury
• Intentionally or knowingly cause offensive or provocative physical contact with another person

Assault can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the specific details of the crime as outlined in Chapter 22 of the Texas Penal Code.
