Second Offense Domestic Assault Charge
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
My wife and I got into a heated argument a couple of nights ago. We were yelling at each other and I started walking over to the bed where she was sitting. She leaned back and kicked me in the face and kept kicking. I grabbed her by the wrist and held her down. We were still yelling and her sister was outside. Her sister began to break out the windows in the room we were in. I called 911 to report her sister. At this time her sister had ran off because she has already been to prison twice. My sister in law was in the car out in the street she claims that she could hear my wife screaming. The police showed up and began questioning us. My wife claims that I hit her in the eye now but at the time of the incident she did not tell the police that. The police said she had carpet burns on her elbows. I showed the police were she had kicked me in the face. I had a big knot under my eye and it was turning black. The police took me to jail. They also took pics of her elbows and did not take any of my face. The officer claims that since my sister in-law heard her screaming they had to take me into jail. This will be my second offence for assault. Should I hire a lawyer and with your best guess what do you think the outcome will be?
