    Default Needing Reassurance to Keep Me Going

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas. I recently filled charges against my ex boyfirnd for beating me up and stealing money and my truck. The next day the detective came to talk to me and after telling him all the horror stories of abuse he put me through he put out 2 felony warrants for Assault on fam/house member imped breath/circul basically for choking me and robbery by bodily injury. However, he did not choke me that night it actually occured about 2 months before hand. The DA accepted the charge though. A week after he assualted me in front of many ppl he assualted me again when he saw me in a public place. He was then charged with Assault casing bodily injury of family member. The DA plea bargained with him so we can hurry and get the of conviction of ACBI before he goes to the other county to face time for the 2 felonies. He said it goes under the order of convictions act or something so he would be doing more time for the 2 felonies after being charged with the ACBI. These are his first assault cases after having 4 felony drug conviction cases. I am taking my kid and running but the abuse still haunts me and I will be getting help for it. I just would like someone to give me their opinion on how much time he will do. I feel like the longer the better!! He needs to suffer for all he did to me but I am just worried about the choking charge because there are no pics but my friend did see the marks it left after it happened. Doe sanyone know if that will hold up to keep the case and after reading baout my case how long he will do in jail for the 2 felonies

    There are MANY factors that determine sentencing. Most states do a sentencing investigation and use score sheets. You would have to read the statutes he is charged under and see if there are guidelines for minimum and maximum sentences. If he already has three felony convictions, that will push up any sentence.

    You should get a restraining order against him.

    Is he in jail now? How much is the bail? That would be an indication of the seriousness of the charges.

    If he attacks you or threatens you while out on bail or from jail, report that to the prosecutor immediately. He will be back in jail and/or will have his bail revoked and get lots more time if convicted. Jail phone calls are recorded and are admissible in court, for instance.

    I don't think anyone can predict that. It depends on state laws, judge, prosecutor.....too many variables.

    I wish you luck. It takes a lot of guts to get out of an abusive relationship and press charges - kudos to you. And I do think you are being smart in taking your child and "running". I think moving far away is the best thing you can do - for your safety and for a fresh start. Just be sure only the closest of friends/relatives have contact information. Good luck.
