AGG ASSAULT DATE/FAMILY/HOUSE W/WEAPON
Aggravated Assault DATE/FAMILY/HOUSE with Weapon in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “AGG ASSAULT DATE/FAMILY/HOUSE W/WEAPON” means
Texas Penal Code § 22.02(b)(1) defines a first-degree form of aggravated assault tied to family violence. As written, the provision requires proof of an assault under Texas Penal Code § 22.01 in which the defendant used a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault and caused serious bodily injury to the victim, together with a qualifying relationship: the victim had a dating relationship with the defendant or was a member of the defendant's family or household, as those relationships are defined by Texas Family Code §§ 71.0021(b), 71.003, and 71.005. The court-record label for this charge emphasizes the weapon element; the cited statute pairs the weapon element with serious bodily injury, and both must be proved along with the relationship for this variant. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without those additional findings is the second-degree offense under § 22.02(a)(2).
