What Is Domestic Violence in Texas?
Domestic violence in Texas encompasses any abusive act, whether physical, sexual, or emotional, carried out by a family or household member against another.
This includes harm inflicted on romantic partners or children. Some of the acts classified as domestic assault include:
- Assault and aggravated assault
- Continuous family abuse
- Kidnapping
- Stalking

- Homicide
If you’re facing any of these acts, you don’t have to endure it in silence. Davis and Associates, Attorneys at Law is here to help—call us today to take your first step toward justice.
Understanding Penalties for Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is taken seriously under Texas law.
Penalties can vary based on the severity of abuse and whether it’s categorized as a misdemeanor or felony.
These penalties may include fines, imprisonment, and restrictions, such as losing firearm rights or the ability to own property jointly. Additional consequences could include:
- Community service
- Wage liens
- Loss of child custody
If you or someone you know is in harm’s way, legal action can both end the abuse and enforce justice.
Protective Orders for Victims
Victims deserve protection from further harm while their case is being processed. Texas courts issue protective orders to shield victims, barring abusers from contacting or threatening them during and after the case. Depending on the abuser’s history, additional conditions may be added to the protective order. Violating these orders carries extra penalties.
When you work with Davis and Associates, Attorneys at Law, our attorneys act immediately to request protective orders for your safety. We’ll guide you through the process, prepare all required evidence, and report violations promptly to ensure offenders face appropriate consequences.
Bail and Bond Conditions
If an abuser seeks bail, the courts may impose strict conditions to protect victims. These conditions can include restricting the defendant’s movements and preventing them from contacting the victim. Violations, such as approaching the victim or ignoring restrictions, could lead to immediate arrest and further penalties.
At Davis and Associates, Attorneys at Law, our team closely monitors bail and bond developments, ensuring your safety. If any violations occur, we act swiftly to notify the court and hold the offender accountable.
