Assault family violence vs. continuous violence against the family: what’s the difference? ⚖️

These two charges may sound similar, but in Texas the difference between them can be significant.

Assault family violence usually involves a single alleged incident against a family member, household member, or dating partner. In many cases it is charged as a misdemeanor, though certain circumstances can raise it to a felony.

Continuous violence against the family is different. It can be charged when someone is accused of two or more assaults against a family or household member or dating partner within a 12-month period. It’s a felony, even if the person has never been convicted before.

Understanding which charge you’re facing, and what the prosecution has to prove, can make a major difference in how your case is handled and what’s at stake.

What is a protective order, and what are you no longer allowed to do once one is filed?
A protective order can place legal restrictions on your contact and interactions with another person. Depending on the order and the circumstances of the case, you may be prohibited from contacting the protected person, going to certain locations, communicating through other people, or engaging in other conduct specifically restricted by the court.

It’s important to understand that a protective order is not something you should ignore or assume you can work around. Even seemingly harmless contact or communication could potentially violate the order and lead to additional legal consequences.

Knowing what the order actually requires can make a major difference.

The alleged victim in a sexual harassment case wants to drop the charges, so does that mean the case is over? Not necessarily.

Once a criminal case has been reported, the alleged victim may not be the person who ultimately decides whether the charges are dismissed. Depending on the circumstances, the prosecutor may continue pursuing the case even if the alleged victim no longer wants to participate.

There can also be important factors involving statements already made, available evidence, and the specific charges involved. Simply saying that you want to “drop the charges” does not automatically end a criminal case.

In this video, we explain what can happen when an alleged victim wants to drop sexual harassment charges and why the case may continue even if they no longer want to pursue it.

Knowing how the process works can make a major difference. 📞 281-741-1182 📍 13803 Madera Run Pkwy Ste 103, Humble, Texas 77346 🌐 https://aaronholtlaw.com/

In this video, we break down common myths vs. reality about police and explain what you should actually know if you find yourself in an encounter with law enforcement.

What counts as family violence under Texas law? Understanding the definition can be critical when you're facing an accusation or trying to protect yourself and your family.

Texas law recognizes several situations that can fall under family violence, and it isn’t limited to physical violence between spouses. Depending on the circumstances, threats, certain forms of physical contact, and acts involving family or household members can potentially lead to a family violence allegation.

The consequences can go far beyond the initial accusation. A family violence case can affect your criminal record, employment, relationships, and even your ability to possess a fi***rm.

In this video, we break down what Texas law considers family violence, who can be involved, and why understanding the specific circumstances of your case matters.
