What Makes A Crime Aggravated In Texas?
In Texas, a crime becomes aggravated when certain factors increase the severity of the crime and the potential for harm. Aggravated crimes often involve one or more of the following:
- The use of a weapon
- An intent to cause serious injury
- Targeting vulnerable individuals
Examples of aggravated charges include aggravated assault, aggravated robbery and aggravated sexual assault. These charges carry harsher penalties, like additional jail time. And require a strategic defense to challenge them effectively.
