Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 403rd District Court

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute and accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The case was initially filed at a higher degree, but the state later recognized the injuries alleged did not meet that level. We focused on the lack of serious injury and carefully examined the proof tying a weapon to the incident, pushing back on the enhancement. After sustained negotiations with the prosecutor, the charge was reduced and the court approved deferred probation.

Police were called to a domestic dispute after an argument at a residence escalated. Officers alleged our client punched and scratched a partner and kicked a family member who stepped in. The client reported acting in self defense after being restrained, and multiple witnesses confirmed both had been drinking and there was mutual combat.
