THERE WOULD JUST BE A FINE IMPOSED, 10 DAYS-JAIL TIME & 60 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPENDING ON STATE YOU RESIDE IN, POSSIBLY; MAYBE THE FAMILY MEMBER COULD/WOULD DROP THE CHARGES & JUST A FINE; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT IS PRETTY SERIOUS THOUGH..HOPE THINGS CAN BE WORKED OUT, MAYBE THE ASSAULTER NEEDS SOME COUNSELLING.

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

Ultimately it means he needs a good defense attorney.  Assault 2d is a Class D violent felony.    The maximum penalty for a first time offender with no prior felony criminal record is:  2 to 7 years of determinate prison time (i.e. a 5 year determinate sentence means 5 years in a state penitentiary), plus 3 years of post release supervision, like parole.  \n\nAssault 2d means that someone is accused of assaulting another person and either:\n1. the assault was with intent to cause serious physical injury and did cause serious physical injury (think extreme pain or organ damage)\n\n2. Or he intended to cause physical injury and caused physicla injury with a deadly weapon (think pistol whipping, or stabbing and missing the mark);\n\n3.  Or He recklessly caused serious physical injury with a deadly weapon (think pointing a loaded gun at someone and accidentlyshooting them);\n\n4.  Or he drugged her,  (think roofies)\n\n5. Or While comitting or fleeing from another felony, he caused her physical injury;\n\n6.  Or beng over 18 he recklesly causes a person <11 years old, serious physical injury, while only intending injury;\n\n7.  Or being 18 or older, while intending to cause physical injury to a child <7 years old physical injury;\n\n8.  Or On school grounds, with the intent ot cause injury, the person causes injury to an employee of a school, or if not a student, causes injury to a student of the school;\n\nThe remianing provisions are unlikely unless the girl is train operator, or a corrections office in a jail tht our son was in.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

Every person who attempts, by means of any threat or violence, to deter or prevent an executive officer from performing any duty imposed upon such officer by law, or who knowingly resists, by the use of force or violence, such officer, in the performance of his duty, is punishable by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment in the state prison, or in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.\n\nIs this what you were looking for?

I believe the minimum penalty for a felony charge is 1 year in prison...........so if both parents are charged and sentenced with the minimum, there would be no way they could care for a child in prison.  I don't know if they would be revoked from there parental rights forever, but the state would be inclined to find new parents...........via relatives, etc........while the biological parents serve time.  And after prison time, the parents would have to prove to the state that they would be capable to create a safe environment for the child in order to regain any custody.

Probably 1 -2 years probation ...maybe pay some fines, or do community service for a certain number  of hours

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!

I just dealt with a case like this where an individual was told not to call on go near another person, they filled an order of protection and he ws not present.  He didn't even know it existed.  It was his own mother and step dad.  They lured him to the apartment complex by telling his aunt that his property was on the stoop.  He picked it up.  The next day he was just walking down the street and was picked up by police based on a description and arrested for violation a restraining order, fined and arrested.  I got him released ROR argueing the same points as some of your answers listed above but the short of it is he is going to county lock up if he doesn't beat the charge.  lawyers fees are expensive.  he can now only afford a public defender and they are way over worked, under paid and not to bright, I would expect probation or 30 days incarceration at county lock up and if you are not careful you will receive the same.  After the hearing the constable or someone will make one attempt to serve you and that is it.  You need to obey the order or face arrest.  Unless you have unlimited money for attorneys fee you shouldn't fight it.  Or you might be using the public pretenders office.  Work this out through a third party and be apologetic and humble.  Get this order dropped or you will run into this person and do some time.  This case was in Upstate NY but the laws are very common throughout the US and some places might add stalking.  Big jail time!  watch your step, the law is on the filers side, file a counter order asap.

One year most likely.  The punishment is enforced more stringently when it is due to a probation/parole violation.  It's meant to set an example/send a message when one exhibits disregard for the conditions and terms established by the court.  Violations are not treated favorably!  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news by the way.  Hope for the best but plan and expect the worst!  Good luck

i don't know about Texas but if you go to jail they don't charge you in Louisiana. so my suggestion is go to jail and spend a long time there. maybe by the time you get out you will be willing to accept your kid also :-)

I am glad no one is hurt.  The charges are serious.  But it is better to take care of it now versus later.  You might not be able to drive for sometime after this case.  You can request for a public defender since this case involves the possibility of jail time.

It would depend upon many factors.  Anything from a community order for a youthful offender where no weapon was shown and little violence was involved to 12 or more years custody where serious injury to the victim occurred is possible.
