Potential Legal Penalties for an Assault Conviction in Plano
We refer to Texas Penal Code § 22.01 to understand the high stakes of assault cases in Plano. Depending on the specific details of your assault charge, you may face the following:
- Jail time: Even a Class B misdemeanor conviction for assault can result in up to 180 days in jail. A Class A misdemeanor assault conviction could land you in jail for up to 1 year.
- Prison time: If you’re charged with a felony-level assault conviction, you may face between 2 and 99 years in prison.
- A significant fine: A misdemeanor assault conviction can lead to a fine of up to $4,000, while a felony conviction may come with a $10,000 fine.
Do not take “misdemeanor” to mean “not serious.” If a judge or jury finds you guilty, you face life-changing penalties that send a shockwave throughout every aspect of your life.
The Non-Legal Consequences of an Assault Conviction Can Be Devastating
In our experience, legal penalties are only the first wave of consequences with an assault conviction. The non-legal penalties may be just as consequential as the legal ones and could include the following:
- Lasting damage to your personal and professional reputation
- Loss of current and future employment opportunities
- Loss of romantic and personal relationships
- Psychological and emotional problems
- Severe financial problems
Our legal team understands the high cost of convictions. Thus, we will work to shield you from these consequences by securing the best legal outcome possible.
