Family violence allegations carry serious and lasting consequences—even before a conviction. A single accusation can affect your job, custody rights, gun ownership, reputation, and immigration status. Our attorneys understand the high stakes and move quickly to protect you, your freedom, and your future. 

What Is Considered Family Violence in Texas?

Under Texas law, family violence includes alleged harm, threats, or physical contact against: 

  • Spouses or ex-spouses 

  • Dating partners 

  • Co-parents 

  • Relatives by blood or marriage 

  • Household or roommates 

  • Individuals in an intimate or dating relationship 

Common charges include: 

  • Assault Family Violence (AFV) 

  • Assault Causing Bodily Injury to a Family Member 

  • Choking/Strangulation Allegations 

  • Violation of Protective Order 

  • Continuous Family Violence 

  • Aggravated Assault Family Violence 

  • Harassment or Stalking 

Penalties can range from Class A misdemeanors to serious felonies with prison time, depending on the nature of the charge and prior history. 

Consequences of a Family Violence Conviction in Texas

A family violence conviction cannot be sealed and often remains permanent. 

Possible consequences include: 

 

✔ Criminal record affecting employment 

✔ Jail or prison time 

✔ No ability to expunge or nondisclose in most cases 

✔ Loss of firearm rights 

✔ Custody / divorce complications 

✔ Mandatory counseling or BIPP classes 

✔ Protective orders restricting contact 

This is why early legal intervention matters.

Defending Against Family Violence Allegations

Every story has two sides. Prosecutors often file charges even when the alleged victim wants them dropped. Evidence can be flawed, exaggerated, or taken out of context. Police are trained to arrest first and sort it out later. 

 

Our defense strategies may include: 

  • Challenging credibility and inconsistent statements 

  • Exposing lack of physical injuries 

  • Proving self-defense or mutual combat 

  • Demonstrating false or retaliatory allegations 

  • Highlighting insufficient evidence or 911 call context 

  • Negotiating dismissal, deferred cases, or diversion programs 

  • Working to lift emergency/protective orders 

A conviction is not inevitable. You deserve a defense built for your specific situation.

  1. Do not discuss your case with anyone without a lawyer. 

  2. Avoid texting, apologizing, or contacting the alleged victim. 

  3. Save relevant messages, photos, and evidence. 

  4. Contact a defense attorney immediately
