Domestic violence allegations in Texas can carry serious consequences. A simple slap or even a push in the heat of the moment can result in a criminal charge and other far-reaching effects. The only effect that the State has to show is physical pain. There is no requirement of hospitalization or even visible injury.

Most people expect a police officer to evaluate a situation and decide if both persons are at fault. But many law enforcement agencies adopt more of a “someone is going to jail if 911 is called” approach to domestic violence. To further complicate matters, many district attorney’s offices have policies to proceed forward with domestic violence cases even when the alleged victim has asked for the case to be dismissed.
