Travis County domestic violence cases move fast. From arrest to arraignment often takes just 24–48 hours. Having a skilled Austin criminal attorney on your side early can be the difference between dismissal and conviction.

In Texas, family violence includes any act of physical harm or threat of harm between members of the same household or romantic relationship. Charges can escalate rapidly depending on:

• Severity of injury
   
• Prior convictions
   
• Use of weapons
   
• Violation of protective orders
   

• Class C Misdemeanor – Threats without physical contact
   
• Class A Misdemeanor – Causing injury to a family or household member
   
• Third-Degree Felony – Repeat offenses, choking, or strangulation
   
• Second-Degree Felony – Use of deadly weapon or serious bodily harm
