Relating to the prosecution of the offense of aggravated assault.

SB 2771 amends Texas Penal Code Section 22.02 to clarify and adjust penalties for aggravated assault. It specifies that causing "substantial bodily injury" (defined as temporary disfigurement, protracted pain, or temporary loss of function) elevates the offense to a third-degree felony, while causing serious injury or using a deadly weapon remains a second-degree felony. The bill also adds specific scenarios that increase penalties, such as assaulting public servants, witnesses, process servers, or security officers during their duties, or committing assault during a mass shooting. This bill directly affects individuals charged with aggravated assault in Texas and modifies how courts classify these offenses under the law.
