What Are The Consequences For Domestic Abuse Convictions?

Although the laws regarding domestic abuse vary between Texas and Arkansas, both states have severe penalties for a conviction.

Texas has three charges of domestic violence:

• Domestic assault. A first offense is a misdemeanor, while a repeat offense is a felony.
• Aggravated domestic assault, which is automatically a felony.
• Continuous violence against the family, which is a felony.

A misdemeanor offense can result in up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000, while a felony can result in up to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Domestic abuse charges in Arkansas include:

• First-degree domestic battering, which is a misdemeanor
• Second- and third-degree domestic battering, which are felonies
• Aggravated assault on a family or household member, which is an automatic felony

A misdemeanor could mean up to one year in jail, while a felony could mean up to six years in jail.
