Domestic violence or family violence is one of the most serious misdemeanor offenses you can face in Texas. If you are convicted, it can affect not only your professional and personal reputation, but your relationship with your family and loved ones. Additionally, domestic violence charges are often coupled with restraining orders, protective orders, or orders to move out of your home.

What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence encompasses a broad range of behaviors that involve an abuser exerting power and control over another person within an intimate relationship. This can include physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, stalking, cyberstalking, and more. Unfortunately, many victims of domestic violence don’t know how to escape their situation or how to seek help from authorities until it’s too late. If you are facing DV/AVF charges in Williamson County then you need to seek out experienced legal representation immediately.
Types of Domestic Violence Charges in Williamson County, TX
In Texas, there are three main types of domestic violence offenses:
- Domestic Assault (Class A Misdemeanor or Felony)
- Aggravated Domestic Assault (2nd-1st Degree Felony)
- Continuous Violence against the Family (3rd Degree Felony)
The severity of the charge depends on the circumstances surrounding the incident as well as any prior convictions for similar offenses on either side. For example, an incident involving strangulation would likely result in a more severe charge than one without such a component present.

Case Dismissed Felony DWI w/ Child Passenger
After spending Thanksgiving Day with her family, our client drove home with her daughter in the backseat of her car. She was pulled over for speeding and given a warning.
