    Default Class A Misdemeanor Assault

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Houston, Tx

    Basically I went over my ex gf of 3 year house to pick the rest of my belong one night and I saw her new boyfriend there. My jealousy just took over and I hit him a couple time on the head. I was arrested and now I have court date coming up. I have 2 record before this assault case, 1. was for Internal Theft (Basically I help someone steal at my workplace) I paid back the total amount that was stolen, did my community service, and serve my probation. 2. I have a couple of traffic warrant that I got arrested for, but have cleared.

    I'm currently a student with a part-time job, so hiring a top of the line lawyer is out of the question. I plan to ask the court for an appointed lawyer. My question is, what kind of punishment am I looking at here? I hope that my court appointed lawyer doesn't screw me over, since I see a lot of people say that court appointed lawyer are the worst there is. Would my previous record come into a big play?

    According to my ex, somehow I manage to hit him where he might need surgery, or something.

    If you caused a serious injury requiring surgery, particularly given your criminal history, jail time becomes a real possibility. You do need to be talking to a criminal defense lawyer. Most court-appointed lawyers are fine.
