There are a lot of violence cases still happening everyday. Husband is controlling his wife and children and abuse them. Recording to the police report of year 2006 there are 86,000 families violence incident in the Texas state. I would like to bring this Texas law apply to strangulation perpetrated by a family or household member “Intentionally or recklessly or threaten someone single assault, or class A misdemeanor punishable by not more than 1 year in a county jail and fine $4,000. However, prosecutors can pump it up to a third degree felony 2 to 10 years in Texas prison and fine not more than $10,000. If assault with a weapon/aggravated assault causing injury or using weapons is second degree felony reason and fine up to $10,000. Texas is the 11th state to pass a specific strangulation law. I think this new Texas law upgrade strangulation battering from misdemeanor to felony is an important message for everyone. It is a powerful guidance and motivation for abusers.
On september 01, 2009 House Bill 2066 the Act was charge a class A misdemeanor went into effect that increase potential penalties 2 to 10 years in Texas prison and up to 10,000 dollars. Under the Texas penal code, intimate partner strangulation by applying pressure to the persons throat or neck or by blocking the person nose or mouth (VTCA penal code 22.01(b)(2)(B). A child abuse is also a barbaric actions. I hate the abusers, do you? Children and women who are victims of incidents that is not only have personal injuries, but also their emotional and mental damage affecting the rest of their lives.
