Texas recognizes two forms of assault which may lead to civil claims for money damages. First, an intentional, knowing or reckless contact with the body of another person which causes injury is considered an assault. Further, an intentional or knowing threat of imminent bodily injury which causes apprehension or fear to the threatened person is also considered an assault under Texas law. On occasion, the Firm accepts claims involving assaults, particularly in the context of employment or business relationships.
