DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Threatening bodily injury toward a family member, causing bodily injury, and acting recklessly with intent to cause harm, with or without a weapon involved, is reason enough for a person to be charged with aggravated domestic assault. A domestic violence charge is not to be taken lightly.
If you are charged with domestic violence, you can be prohibited from returning to your home. A domestic assault charge is a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances. Texas views family assault and battery seriously. A domestic assault conviction can have a severe impact on many areas of your life.

Domestic Violence can be physical or emotional and in many cases a combination of both at several levels. Such domestic violence can cause much distress. Your spouse, family member or partner can:
Physically coerce or threaten you on an emotional level.
Intimidate you by destroying things and displaying weapons, intending harm.
Emotionally abuse you, your parents, your family members.
Economically abuse you by preventing you from having a job or gaining any level of financial freedom.
Assert their male privilege if you are the weaker partner, berating you verbally and forcing you to do things against your will.
Use your children to manipulate you and emotionally blackmail you.
Deny allegations, minimize your accusations, and blame you as a liar.
Isolate your reach within the community and cut off access to family members.
Keep a check on you to maintain power and control over you at all times.
Beat you, physically push you around, and physically harm you repeatedly.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone, any race, any gender of any socio-economic level. It is important that the abused person make a plan to exit the relationship safely and report it to the authorities immediately.,
