Aggravated Assault vs. Simple Assault
In Texas, the difference between simple assault and aggravated assault has to do with the level of injury the claimant is believed to have suffered:
- If the claimant has been seriously injured, or if the claimant says the accused used or threatened to use a deadly weapon, he or she will be charged with aggravated assault.
- If the accused used their fists or threatened someone but did not cause injury, they will be charged with simple assault.
- If the accused intends on causing someone to apprehend imminent injury, then they could triggered for assault charges as well.
It is worth pointing out that the same incident can give rise to assault charges and battery charges, depending on whether the accuser says you touched them or used physical violence against them. If the claimant says you used a deadly weapon and that you touched them, the charges will generally be even more serious.
When assault charges arise from a family or household dispute, a ballpark investigation often leads to criminal charges that may include an arrest. This typically means spending the night in jail before the defendant can even appear before a judge.
