Career figures reflect the full caseload of the firm since 2002. The separate public court-record figures shown further down — including the 50+ family violence filings — count only matters indexed in Texas county filing systems under one bar number and do not capture the firm's entire practice.

In Texas, "family violence" is not a separate crime — it is a classification attached to an assault charge when the complainant is a family member, household member, or someone in a current or former dating relationship, as defined by Texas Family Code §§ 71.003, 71.004, and 71.0021. A first-time assault–family member charge causing bodily injury is a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year in county jail and a $4,000 fine). It becomes a third-degree felony if the allegation involves impeding breath or circulation (strangulation) or if the accused has a prior family violence conviction, and a first-degree felony if a deadly weapon is used and serious bodily injury results. The lasting damage usually is not the jail time — it is the permanent affirmative finding of family violence, which can never be sealed or expunged and triggers a lifetime federal firearm ban.
Who we are: Sam R. Cammack III is a Houston trial lawyer and former felony prosecutor with 20+ years defending violent-crime allegations across five Texas counties. Texas public court records show more than 50 filings charged specifically as family or household member offenses under his bar number — the breakdown is below. Review his documented case results, including a not-guilty verdict on all charges in a Brazoria County murder trial. The firm holds a 4.9-star average across 116 client reviews on its Google Business Profile.
Family violence allegations arrive at the worst moment in a family's life. An argument escalates, someone calls 911, and within hours a Harris County officer is required to make a decision on the spot about who the aggressor was. Texas policy strongly favors arrest in these calls. That means people are routinely taken to jail on the basis of a single statement, a scratch, or a raised voice — before anyone has heard the other side.
What follows is a machine that moves quickly. A magistrate can issue an emergency protection order the same night, locking you out of your own home and away from your children. The Harris County District Attorney's Office prosecutes these cases through a dedicated division with specially trained prosecutors, social workers, and caseworkers. And critically — the complaining witness cannot simply "drop the charges." The State, not the alleged victim, decides whether the case proceeds, and prosecutors regularly push forward on 911 audio, body-camera footage, and photographs even when the complainant recants or refuses to appear.
That is exactly why the response matters more than the accusation. Sam R. Cammack III has spent over two decades on both sides of the courtroom — as a former felony prosecutor in Harrison County, Texas, and for the last twenty years as a trial lawyer defending the accused. He is a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Harris County Bar Association, and is licensed in good standing with the State Bar of Texas (Bar No. 24014415). He knows how the State builds a family violence file, where those files are weakest, and how to attack them before a jury is ever selected. Learn more about the firm and team.

We handle every tier of family violence allegation, from a Class C citation through a first-degree felony.
Causing bodily injury to a spouse, partner, family member, or household member. The most commonly filed family violence charge in Harris County and typically a Class A misdemeanor on a first allegation. 14 filings on this firm's public record.
Assault involving serious bodily injury or the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon. A second-degree felony — and a first-degree felony where both a deadly weapon and serious bodily injury are alleged against a family or dating partner. 18 filings on the public record.
Allegations of impeding normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure to the throat or neck, or blocking the nose or mouth. Charged as a third-degree felony even on a first offense — and frequently overcharged from ambiguous physical evidence. 13 filings on the public record.
Contact, proximity, communication, or firearm possession that breaches a protective order, magistrate's emergency protection order, or bond condition — including violations alleged from a single text message or a returned phone call.
Two or more alleged family violence assaults within a 12-month period, charged as a third-degree felony — even if neither individual incident was ever prosecuted, and even if jurors do not agree on which incidents occurred.
Assault–family member with a prior family violence conviction (third-degree felony), and strangulation with a prior family violence conviction (second-degree felony). Enhancement fights are won by attacking the prior judgment itself. 5 filings on the public record.
Family violence cases are, by their nature, private. Most are resolved by dismissal, no-bill, or reduction long before they reach a public verdict — which is the outcome most clients want. What can be shown publicly is the volume of these cases the firm actually handles, and what clients say happened in theirs.
Public court-record data compiled from Texas county filings identifies 371 criminal matters associated with Sam R. Cammack III (Texas Bar No. 24014415), of which 64% are felonies. Within that record, the filings charged specifically as family or household member offenses add up as follows.
18 + 14 + 13 + 5 = 50 family violence filings. The impeding-breath count belongs in that total by statute: Penal Code § 22.01(b)(2)(B) can only be charged where the complainant stands in a Family Code § 71.0021(b), § 71.003, or § 71.005 relationship to the accused — so a strangulation felony is a family violence offense by definition. Related assaultive filings on the same record include 25 aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and 8 assault causing bodily injury.
What these numbers are and are not. They count matters indexed in Texas county court filing systems under one bar number. They are not a career total: they exclude pre-charge work that never produced a filing, matters filed under a firm name, and counties whose records are not indexed in the source data. That is why they read lower than the career figures at the top of this page — the two are measuring different things. Of the 371 matters, 345 (93%) are Harris County filings and 23 are Montgomery County. Most frequent appearances are before Harris County Criminal District Courts Nos. 176, 178, 183, 208, and 248 at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center, 1201 Franklin Street, Houston, and in the Criminal Courts at Law for misdemeanor family violence settings. See our Harris County practice page, or look up a case through our inmate search and court records resources.
Brazoria County, August 2014. A father was charged with murder after a drunk driver killed his two sons. Sam Cammack III tried the case to verdict, establishing that no murder weapon was ever recovered, that Barajas had never owned a firearm, and that forensic gunshot-residue analysis came back negative.
Not Guilty — All ChargesThe same trial approach — attack the forensics, attack the assumption, force the State to prove every element — is what we bring to a family violence allegation built on a 911 call and a photograph. See all case results →
The outcomes below are described by the clients themselves in public five-star reviews on the firm's Google Business Profile, reproduced without editing. Google does not disclose what any reviewer was charged with, and none of these clients identifies their matter as a family violence case — we make no such claim. They are shown here because they are assaultive or serious-felony matters, which is the terrain a family violence charge sits on.

Important — how to read these: The six outcomes above are reported by clients in their own public reviews. They are reproduced verbatim and are not independently verified court records; charge descriptions are the clients' own words, not the charging instruments. No representation is made that any of them was a family violence matter. They describe individual experiences. Each case is decided on its own facts and law, and no prior result — including the not-guilty verdict in State v. Barajas — guarantees or predicts a similar outcome in any future matter. Read every review, unfiltered, on the firm's Google Business Profile, and see the firm's published outcomes on our case results page.

The reviews below were written by clients on the firm's public Google Business Profile and are reproduced without editing. Google does not disclose what any reviewer was charged with, so we make no claim that these were family violence cases. We chose them because they describe what family violence clients actually lose sleep over: a career, a professional license, a charge filed to gain leverage in a private dispute, being told a plea is the only option — and whether the case simply goes away.
"I called different attorneys in an attempt to get a feel for what I should expect about my daughters situation. Every attorney I spoke with told me deferred adjudication was the best I could hope for. … Suffice to say about 8 months later the case was dismissed. Even after the prosecutors offered a deal (I was contemplating accepting) but Sam said no dad we've come too far."
This reviewer does not say what the charge was. We include it because in a family violence case that advice is a trap: deferred adjudication still carries the permanent affirmative finding of family violence, and Government Code § 411.074 bars you from ever sealing it. "The best you can hope for" is frequently not.
"Dealing with this case was the most stressful experience of my life. I am eternally grateful to Holly and Sam. Not only did they save my career as a first responder, but they also provided me with unwavering security and safety throughout."
"As a healthcare professional, I was facing a legal situation that put my professional license—and my entire career—at serious risk… Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my legal issues were resolved successfully, and my license was preserved."
"My case was a complicated one that involved civil lawsuit that was years in the courts, now sprinkle in with a criminal complaint to cause chaos and add pressure on all fronts… that started off with having to do a walk through for voluntary surrender and bond reduction… to finally getting the case dismissed."
"I was charged with a felony assault for simply defending myself from a large angry total stranger by Harris county. Didn't realize I was charged with a crime until three weeks after the incident… at 9:35 we were in our car headed home with the charges having been dismissed!!!"
"Sam Cammack and his assistant, Holly Quinterro got my case dismissed when my previous lawyer told me that I had no chance of winning and had to plea bargain to a second degree felony charge. 5 stars isnt enough."
"My girlfriend violated probation for the 2nd time and was facing 8 months of state prison time until I dropped her old lawyer and hired Sam!… 2 weeks later on her court date, today, he was able to get her probation reinstated with no jail time or program needed!"
In a family violence case the person searching at two in the morning is often not the accused — it is a spouse, a parent, or a partner. These reviews were written by them.
"Just want to say a huge thank you to Sam Cammack and Holly Quintero… for helping give my husband a second chance at life. Because of their hard work and dedication, he's free today, and our family can finally breathe again."
"Want to thank the law firm of Mr.Sam R Cammack for a great job with my wife case got her a dismess like he said he would."
"Today was an amazing day for my family Sam Cammack got my son's case dismissed! He's the BEST lawyer in Houston him and his legal assistant Holly gave us so much hope when we felt like that there wasn't any."

About these reviews: The quotations above are verbatim excerpts from public five-star reviews posted by clients on the firm's Google Business Profile, reproduced without editing, including the clients' own spelling and punctuation. Reviewer names appear as displayed on Google. Google reviews do not identify the charge involved, and no representation is made that any reviewer's matter was a family violence case. Reviews reflect the individual experience of the person who wrote them; they are not a promise, guarantee, or prediction about the outcome of any other case, and no two cases are alike. Google rating and review count captured 17 August 2026 and may change. Review dates are derived from Google's relative timestamps and are approximate. Testimonials were not solicited in exchange for compensation.
Where your charge falls determines everything about strategy. Here is the statutory landscape.
| Offense | Statute | Classification | Punishment Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assault by threat or offensive contact — family member | § 22.01(a)(2)–(3) | Class C misdemeanor | Fine up to $500 |
| Assault causing bodily injury — family or household member | § 22.01(a)(1) | Class A misdemeanor | Up to 1 year jail + $4,000 |
| Assault family violence with a prior FV conviction | § 22.01(b)(2)(A) | Third-degree felony | 2–10 years + $10,000 |
| Assault by impeding breath or circulation (strangulation) | § 22.01(b)(2)(B) | Third-degree felony | 2–10 years + $10,000 |
| Strangulation with a prior family violence conviction | § 22.01(b-3) | Second-degree felony | 2–20 years + $10,000 |
| Continuous violence against the family — 2+ assaults in 12 months | § 25.11 | Third-degree felony | 2–10 years + $10,000 |
| Aggravated assault — serious bodily injury or deadly weapon | § 22.02(b) | Second-degree felony | 2–20 years + $10,000 |
| Aggravated assault — deadly weapon and serious bodily injury to a family, household, or dating partner | § 22.02(b)(1) | First-degree felony | 5–99 years or life |
| Violation of a protective order or bond condition | § 25.07 | Class A misdemeanor | Up to 1 year jail + $4,000 |
| Violation involving assault or stalking, or with two prior convictions | § 25.07(g) | Third-degree felony | 2–10 years + $10,000 |
Punishment ranges reflect the Texas Penal Code as currently enacted. Enhancements for prior felony convictions under §§ 12.42–12.425 can raise these ranges substantially. This table is general information, not legal advice about your case.
Many people accept a plea believing probation makes the problem go away. In family violence cases, it does not.
Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 42.013, when a court convicts a defendant of — or places them on deferred adjudication for — an offense involving family violence, the court must enter an affirmative finding of family violence in the judgment. That notation is permanent. It cannot be expunged, sealed, or set aside, and it attaches even when there is no conviction in the traditional sense.
This is why "take the deferred and move on" is such dangerous advice in a family violence case, and why it is worth reading the review we featured above from a father who was told by every attorney he called that deferred adjudication was the best he could hope for — and whose daughter's case was dismissed eight months later instead.
Federal law at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) prohibits possession of a firearm or ammunition after a qualifying domestic violence conviction. The affirmative finding makes that ban self-proving.
Any future family violence allegation is charged as a third-degree felony under § 22.01(b)(2)(A) — the State simply points to the judgment rather than re-proving the prior.
Texas Government Code § 411.074 bars sealing deferred adjudication for family violence offenses, so the record stays visible to employers and licensing boards.
A crime of domestic violence is a deportable offense under federal immigration law and can bar naturalization — for green card holders and visa holders alike.
The finding is used directly against you in custody, visitation, and divorce proceedings, and can support a two-year civil protective order.
Nurses, teachers, CDL holders, healthcare workers, military personnel, and security-cleared employees can lose careers over a finding that never involved a day in jail. Two clients on this page describe exactly that stake — a first responder's career and a healthcare professional's license.
This is why the goal in a family violence case is rarely "the best plea." It is dismissal, a no-bill, an acquittal, or a negotiated reduction to a charge that carries no family violence finding — and that outcome has to be engineered from the first week of the case.
Texas Penal Code §§ 9.31–9.33 justify reasonable force against unlawful force. In mutual-combat situations the person who called 911 first is often the one treated as the victim — not the one who was actually attacked. Injury patterns, defensive wounds, and relative size frequently tell a different story than the offense report. One client describes being charged with felony assault "for simply defending myself" and only learning of it three weeks later.
Family violence accusations surface with predictable timing — during divorce filings, custody disputes, immigration proceedings, or after an infidelity discovery. Motive, timing, and prior inconsistent statements are legitimate and powerful cross-examination material. One client described exactly this pattern: a years-long civil suit, then "a criminal complaint to cause chaos and add pressure on all fronts."
The State must prove bodily injury — physical pain, illness, or impairment. Absent medical records, photographs, or corroboration, an assertion of pain made hours later to a responding officer is thin evidence to carry beyond a reasonable doubt.
Impeding breath or circulation is what turns a misdemeanor into a felony, and it is regularly charged from a red mark and a conclusory statement. We test the medical evidence, the absence of petechiae or hoarseness, and the language of the original 911 call against the later-added allegation. This firm's public record shows 13 filings on this exact charge.
Family violence classification requires a qualifying relationship under Family Code §§ 71.003, 71.004, or 71.0021. Roommates, casual acquaintances, and brief encounters do not always meet the statutory definition — and if the relationship element fails, the family violence finding fails with it.
When a complainant does not appear, the State leans on 911 recordings and excited utterances. Those theories have real constitutional limits under Crawford v. Washington and Davis v. Washington, and enforcing them is often what collapses a case the State intended to try without its witness.
Warrantless home entry, unlawful detention, statements taken without warnings, and unrecorded custodial interrogation all create suppression issues. Evidence excluded before trial is evidence the jury never hears.
Where dismissal is not achievable, the objective shifts to a resolution that avoids an affirmative finding entirely — a negotiated reduction, a diversion agreement, or a Class C disposition that preserves firearm rights and future eligibility to seal. Note that ordinary deferred adjudication does not achieve this; see the affirmative finding.
Three different orders can restrict you at the same time, and they are not the same instrument:
A civil protective order hearing is a real evidentiary proceeding — and one where anything you say can be used in the criminal case running alongside it. Appearing without counsel at that hearing is one of the most damaging mistakes an accused person can make.
Under Texas Penal Code § 25.07, a violation is a Class A misdemeanor — and a third-degree felony if the violation itself involved assault or stalking, or if you have two or more prior convictions under §§ 25.07 or 25.072. Prohibited conduct includes far more than showing up in person:
Critically: the protected person cannot give you permission. If they invite you over and you go, you have still violated the order — and you, not they, will be arrested.

No. In Texas, criminal charges belong to the State, not to the complaining witness. Once police make a family violence report, only the District Attorney's Office can dismiss the case. A complainant may sign an affidavit of non-prosecution, and it is a meaningful piece of evidence — but Harris County prosecutors routinely proceed anyway using 911 recordings, body-camera video, and photographs. An affidavit should never be prepared without a defense lawyer's involvement, because a poorly drafted one can expose the complainant to a perjury allegation and can be used against the accused.
Usually not. A first assault–family member charge causing bodily injury is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and a $4,000 fine. However, it is charged as a third-degree felony on a first offense if the State alleges you impeded the complainant's breathing or blood circulation — the strangulation allegation under § 22.01(b)(2)(B) — and as a first-degree felony if a deadly weapon was used and serious bodily injury resulted.
Usually not, and this is the most commonly misunderstood point in Texas family violence practice. Deferred adjudication is not a conviction, which is why it sounds attractive — but under Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 42.013 the court must still enter the affirmative finding of family violence in the judgment, and Government Code § 411.074 bars you from ever sealing it. The lifetime federal firearm ban, the automatic felony enhancement on any future allegation, and the visibility to employers and licensing boards all still attach. A client on this page describes being told by every attorney he called that deferred adjudication was the best he could hope for; the case was dismissed instead. Always ask specifically whether a proposed resolution carries an affirmative finding.
If your case is dismissed, no-billed, or results in an acquittal, you are generally eligible for an expunction. If you are convicted or accept deferred adjudication, you are not — Texas Government Code § 411.074 specifically bars orders of nondisclosure for family violence offenses, and the affirmative finding under Art. 42.013 cannot be sealed or set aside. This asymmetry is precisely why fighting for dismissal is worth far more than accepting a fast plea.
A conviction or deferred adjudication carrying an affirmative finding of family violence triggers a lifetime federal firearm prohibition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9). Separately, you are barred from possessing firearms while any protective order or emergency protection order is in effect, and possession during that period is itself a § 25.07 offense. For law enforcement officers, military members, and security-licensed professionals, this alone can end a career.
False family violence allegations are more common than people assume, particularly during divorce, custody, or immigration disputes. The response is evidence, not argument: preserve text messages, call logs, location data, and door-camera footage immediately; identify witnesses before memories fade; and document the timing of the accusation relative to the underlying dispute. Motive to fabricate is proper cross-examination and frequently produces a dismissal before trial. One client of this firm describes a years-long civil lawsuit into which a "criminal complaint to cause chaos and add pressure on all fronts" was introduced; he reports the criminal case was ultimately dismissed.
Often not right away. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 17.292, a magistrate may issue an emergency protection order at magistration that prohibits you from returning to a shared residence. A standard order remains in effect for 61 to 91 days; where serious bodily injury is alleged or a deadly weapon was used or exhibited, it runs 91 to 121 days. That order can be challenged or modified, but only through a formal request to the court. Returning home before it is modified is a new criminal offense, even if the complainant asks you to come back.
The firm holds a 4.9-star average across 116 client reviews on its Google Business Profile, confirmed on 17 August 2026. Reviewers describe a father who was told by every attorney he called that deferred adjudication was the best available outcome and whose daughter's case was dismissed instead; a first responder whose career was preserved; a healthcare professional whose license survived the allegation; a client charged with felony assault "for simply defending myself" whose charge was dismissed; a client whose prior lawyer said he had to plead to a second-degree felony and whose case was dismissed; and spouses and parents writing on behalf of a husband, a wife, and a son. Those are the outcomes that matter most when an affirmative finding of family violence is on the table. Google reviews do not identify the charge involved, and none of these reviewers states that their matter was a family violence case — we make no such claim. You can read the selection on this page or read all 116, unfiltered, on Google. Reviews describe individual experiences and do not predict the result in any other case.
Publicly available Texas court records show 371 criminal matters filed under Texas Bar No. 24014415, of which 50 are family violence filings: 18 aggravated assault–family member, 14 assault–family member, 13 assault by impeding breath or circulation, and 5 assault–family or household member with a prior conviction. The impeding-breath filings count as family violence offenses by statute, because § 22.01(b)(2)(B) can only be charged where a qualifying family, household, or dating relationship exists. The same record shows a further 25 aggravated assault with a deadly weapon filings and 8 assault causing bodily injury filings. These figures count only matters indexed under one bar number and may be incomplete; see the full breakdown.

Under Texas Penal Code § 25.11, engaging in family violence assault two or more times within a 12-month period is a third-degree felony — even if neither individual incident was ever charged or prosecuted. Jurors are not required to agree unanimously on which specific incidents occurred, only that two occurred within the window. That structural feature makes § 25.11 one of the most aggressive charging tools available to Texas prosecutors and one that demands an early, aggressive defense.
