Intoxication Assault Lawyer - Houston, TX

What should I do if I am charged with Intoxication Assault?

Intoxication Assault is when you commit the offense of DWI by causing “serious bodily injury” to another person.  It doesn’t matter whether the injured person is a pedestrian, another driver, a passenger in another vehicle, or a passenger in your own vehicle.  

“Serious Bodily Injury” is defined as causing a significant risk of death, serious permanent disfigurement, or a lengthy loss of function of a body part.

This offense is classified as a third-degree felony, which may result in confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division (prison) for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 20 years along with a fine of up to $10,000.

Because of the severity of this charge, it’s highly recommended you call an experienced Houston intoxication assault lawyer that has the skill and fight to protect you.  For example, Chris may skillfully show that, despite being intoxicated, the intoxication did not “cause” the accident or “serious bodily injury”, but instead another factor was the root of causation.
