Yes, according to Texas state law, any form of physical injury, even if it is minor, may result in the arrest of the abuser. Even if the abuser threatens violence, they may be arrested in order to protect the safety of the abused family members. Even though the abuser may be arrested, the severity of the injury does affect the charge that may be brought against them.
