Misdemeanor AssaultIn Texas, Assault can be a Class C
Misdemeanor, Class A Misdemeanor, or a
Felony. The Class C Misdemeanor is sometimes referred to as “Simple
Assault.” You can be charged with simple assault if you “cause physical
contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe
that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.” A
regular Class A Assault is where a person “causes bodily injury to
another.” In Texas, “bodily injury” means pain. For example, if someone
pushes you, but it did not hurt, they may be charged with simple
assault. If they push you and it hurts (even if there is no visible
injury) they may be charged with a Class A misdemeanor assault.
