What are the possible charges for fighting in the state of Texas?

Question

If you're out at a club or bar and you get into a fight, are arrested and charged what are the possible charges associated with this offense?

Answer 1

The parties involved could face misdemeanor assult charges, or possibly even aggravated assault (which is a felony) if any weapons were used, even improvised ones like a broken bottle.

Depending upon the severity of the beating the party who lost received, the charges could even be increased to attempted murder.

Finally, if the parties are of different ethnicities or sexual orientations, the dreaded "hate crime" statutes might apply.
