What is Considered Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is the direct act of violence against a family member, partner, person you are in a romantic relationship with or cohabitant. All it takes is one accusation of domestic violence, and officers can be quick to place a person under arrest for domestic violence. If you are charged with domestic violence, the court will place a restraining order on you, making it illegal for you to possess a firearm.

Additionally, if you are convicted of domestic violence, your gun rights may be permanently taken away. You urgently need a criminal defense lawyer in Fort Bend County who will fight for your rights.
