Understanding Domestic Violence Laws in Stephenville

Texas law defines domestic violence as the intentional infliction of physical harm, threat of harm, or offensive physical contact against a household or family member. Under Texas Penal Code Section 22.01, these offenses fall under the broader category of assault, but they carry specific penalties when committed against family members, household members, or dating partners.

Texas law recognizes three primary types of domestic violence charges:

  • Domestic Assault
  • Aggravated Domestic Assault
  • Continuous Family Violence

What Are the Penalties for Domestic Violence in Stephenville?

Penalties for domestic violence offenses vary widely but can include fines, incarceration, and mandatory counseling. Severity depends on the nature of the offense, the defendant's history, and the specifics of the incident. 

Misdemeanor Domestic Violence

  • Up to one year in jail
  • Fines up to $4,000
  • Probation and mandatory counseling

Felony Domestic Violence

  • Prison sentences ranging from two years to life
  • Fines up to $10,000
  • Permanent criminal record

Additionally, domestic violence convictions can have long-lasting impacts, affecting aspects like employment opportunities, child custody rights, firearm rights, and immigration matters. Therefore, addressing these charges with an informed defense strategy not only influences immediate legal outcomes but can also change the long-term trajectory of the accused's life.

Your Dedicated Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges

For those facing charges, it’s crucial to approach the situation with a robust legal strategy. At Law Offices of Brady L. Pendleton, we dedicate ourselves to thorough investigation and an understanding approach to presenting defenses.

Common defenses may involve disputing the evidence, demonstrating mutual conflict, or highlighting procedural errors by law enforcement. We work diligently to clear misunderstandings and protect our client's rights throughout the prosecution process, ensuring every avenue is explored to potentially mitigate repercussions.

Moreover, we build comprehensive defenses by collaborating with forensic experts, interview specialists, and other professionals to challenge the evidence presented.
