VIOL BOND/PROTECTIVE ORDER ASSAULT/STALK IAT
Violation of BOND/PROTECTIVE Order ASSAULT/STALK in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “VIOL BOND/PROTECTIVE ORDER ASSAULT/STALK IAT” means
Texas Penal Code § 25.07 prohibits knowingly or intentionally violating a protective order, a magistrate's order for emergency protection, or a safety-related condition of bond set in a family violence, child abuse or neglect, sexual assault or abuse, indecent assault, stalking, or trafficking case — by committing family violence, making threatening or harassing contact, going near protected locations, possessing a firearm, harming a protected person's pet or assistance animal, tampering with GPS monitoring, or tracking the protected person. While the base offense is a Class A misdemeanor, this charge is the aggravated variant in § 25.07(g)(2)(B): the offense is a third-degree felony when the State shows the defendant violated the order or bond condition by committing an assault or the offense of stalking. The assault or stalking serves as both the violating act and the grading fact.
| 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 |
