Dallas Assault Charges Attorney

What forms of Assault are there?

An assault can be anything from a domestic violence charge to a harassment of a public servant charge. Didn’t know that harassment of a public servant was an assault charge? It sure is. What about aiding another person in a suicide? That’s also considered an assault charge. There are states that allow its citizens to engage in assisted euthanasia, but Texas isn’t one of them, and you can be charged, prosecuted, and convicted of a crime for aiding a person in a suicide. You may think of it as helping a terminally-ill cancer patient who is experiencing a lot of pain, but the state of Texas doesn’t.
