Offense Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Statute Texas Penal Code § 22.02(a)(2)

Penalty Level Second-Degree Felony

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon under Texas Penal Code § 22.02(a)(2) is a Second-Degree Felony carrying 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. The charge requires that the defendant committed an assault and used or exhibited a deadly weapon — which includes firearms, knives, vehicles, and any object capable of causing death or serious bodily injury in the manner it was used. The offense elevates to a First-Degree Felony (5–99 years or life) when committed against a family member, a public servant, a security officer, or from a motor vehicle. A deadly weapon finding by the court triggers mandatory minimum time served before parole eligibility under CCP Art. 42A.054 and a lifetime federal firearms prohibition.
