What Is Domestic Violence in Texas?

Domestic violence consists of abusive behavior on the part of a household member against another household member for the purpose of controlling the relationship.

Domestic violence can involve:

• Spouses
• Ex-spouses
• Cohabitants
• Unmarried parents
• Dating partners
• Family members
• Children
• Roommates

In Texas, domestic violence is legally referred to as “assault family violence.” The most common level of this offense is charged as a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and/or a fine of up to $4,000. In most cases, a temporary restraining order is also issued by the court that prohibits any type of contact with the alleged victim until the case has been fully resolved. Where serious bodily injury has occurred, the charge will likely become a felony with a lengthier prison sentence and stiffer fines.
