SB 2771 amends the Texas Penal Code to redefine aggravated assault, adding a new offense for causing substantial bodily injury. The bill introduces a third-degree felony charge for offenses that result in protracted physical pain, temporary disfigurement, or temporary loss or impairment of a bodily function. It also enhances penalties for aggravated assault committed as part of a mass shooting, making such offenses eligible for first-degree felony charges.
