What “ASSAULT EMS PERSONNEL PROV SERV” means
Texas Penal Code § 22.01(b)(5) denotes third-degree-felony assault against emergency services personnel. The State must prove a bodily-injury assault under § 22.01(a)(1) — that the defendant intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused bodily injury to another — plus two additional elements: the defendant knew the person assaulted was emergency services personnel, and the person was providing emergency services at the time. "Emergency services personnel" is defined by § 22.01(e) to include firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, emergency room personnel, and other individuals who, in the course and scope of employment or as volunteers, provide services for the benefit of the general public during emergency situations. The victim's protected status and on-duty activity are what elevate this offense above the Class A misdemeanor baseline; assaults on other categories of public servants are addressed separately by § 22.01(b)(1) and § 22.01(b-2).
| Charged as | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-degree felony | 2 to 10 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.34 |
