Understanding Intoxication Assault Charges in Brazoria County

You will be charged with intoxication assault if you caused serious bodily injury to another person but did not kill them. This situation is often charged as a misdemeanor offense until the state can establish the extent of the injuries (in which case the charges can be increased).

Serious bodily injury has been defined as "injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes serious permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ." Intoxication assault that results in serious injuries is a felony in the third degree.

If you are convicted of this crime, you can face several substantial penalties, including:

• 2 to 10 years in prison
• A maximum fine of $10,000
• Driver’s license suspension between 6 months and 2 years
• Community service
• Installation if an ignition interlock device
• Alcohol education program
• Supervised probation

Aggravating circumstances can result in harsher penalties. For instance, if you harmed a firefighter, police officer, or another first responder on the job, you could be charged with a second-degree felony, which could result in up to 20 years in prison.
