Dealing with the Consequences of a Family Assault 911 Call

Because of numerous very public trials involving wife-beating celebrities, there currently appears to be a zero tolerance policy toward family assault. What this means for you is that most Texas prosecutors will not drop charges of spousal assault, even if the complaining spouse explains that he or she merely called the police to deescalate a family argument.

These policies are intended to protect a battered wife from being bullied into changing her story, but they have resulted in many innocent people being arrested, jailed, charged with domestic violence, and kept away from their spouses and children for extended periods of time.
