Hello,
Assault on a public servant in Texas is a third degree felony. Here is the punishment:
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/PE/htm/PE.12.htm#12.34
Sec. 12.34. THIRD DEGREE FELONY PUNISHMENT. (a) An individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the third degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years.
(b) In addition to imprisonment, an individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the third degree may be punished by a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Hope this helps, and good luck to your brother.
