Domestic violence charges in Texas are taken very seriously and can carry life-changing consequences. An arrest doesn’t mean you are guilty, but it does mean you need experienced legal representation immediately. At the Law Offices of Ryan M. Streich, P.C., we defend clients in Wichita Falls and surrounding areas who have been accused of family violence. Our goal is to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.
In Texas, “domestic violence” — legally referred to as family violence — can involve a wide range of situations. You may be charged if the alleged victim is a spouse, dating partner, family member, roommate, or even someone you share a child with.
Domestic violence cases may include:
Causing bodily injury or threatening imminent harm to a family or household member.
Applies if you have a prior family violence conviction or if the alleged incident involves choking or strangulation.
A felony offense involving serious bodily injury or use of a deadly weapon.
Even a first-time arrest can lead to jail time, steep fines, protective orders, and the loss of important rights, such as the ability to possess firearms.
Domestic violence cases often rely heavily on statements made during emotional moments. In some cases, charges move forward even when the alleged victim does not wish to prosecute. Having a knowledgeable defense attorney is essential.
Ryan M. Streich brings over 19+ years of experience to these cases, focusing on building strong, fact-based defenses that may include:
Every case is unique. Our office examines police reports, 911 recordings, medical records, and any available witness testimony to challenge the prosecution’s version of events.
Not always. In Texas, prosecutors can pursue charges even without the cooperation of the alleged victim. That makes it especially important to have an attorney advocating for you.
Yes. A conviction cannot be sealed or expunged, which means it will appear on background checks permanently. This can impact employment, housing, and even custody matters.
Protective orders may restrict where you can go, who you can contact, and whether you can own a firearm. Violating an order carries additional criminal penalties. An attorney can help you understand and comply with these restrictions while defending against the underlying charge.
A domestic violence charge can damage your freedom, your family relationships, and your reputation. But you do not have to face this alone. At the Law Offices of Ryan M. Streich, P.C., we provide respectful, responsive, and aggressive defense for clients accused of family violence in Wichita Falls and the surrounding communities.
