Which of the following scenarios would classify an assault as Class A?

Class A assault is defined under Texas law as intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another, and this classification is heightened when the victim falls into a specific vulnerable category, such as being elderly or disabled.

In the scenario where bodily injury is caused to an elderly individual, the law recognizes this as a more serious offense due to the added vulnerability of the victim. This is a form of aggravated assault because the law places greater emphasis on protecting those who are unable to protect themselves, such as the elderly. The intentional action of causing bodily injury directly aligns with the legal definition of Class A assault.

The other scenarios, while potentially serious, do not carry the same legal weight or classification under the law for Class A assault as they either involve recklessness without resulting in bodily harm or do not specify the type of injury or threat that elevates the offense.
