Aggravated assault is typically a second-degree felony. If the court can’t dismiss your case, we’ll seek to reduce the charge to simple assault.

Arson

Arson charges in Texas depend on the severity of the damage. If the court will not dismiss your arson case, we’ll ask the court to reduce the charge.

Burglary

Unlawfully entering any structure where people live is felony burglary, whether or not the perpetrator commits a second crime inside the structure.

Domestic Violence

The authorities strictly enforce domestic violence laws in this state. If you face a domestic violence charge, call Seymour & Vaughn immediately.

Meet our team

Aaron Seymour
Attorney

From a young age I always knew I cared about people and ensuring they were treated fairly. Any injustice, however small, was something I always wanted to make right. Eventually, that desire to protect people from injustice led me into the United States Army and eventually to law school. Having started my career as a prosecutor for the State of Texas,

I saw firsthand the way the state’s resources are brought to bear, often unjustly, on the citizen’s of Texas.   I always thought that I wanted to make sure “justice” was done as a prosecutor. I have often said that it took being a prosecutor for me to realize that I was always a criminal defense attorney.

Tommy Vaughn
Attorney

As a former Prosecutor in Comal and Bexar counties, Tommy Vaughn knows what it takes to defeat the overwhelming resources of the government. Tommy is dedicated to defending those charged with Driving While Intoxicated and other violations of the law.

Tommy will passionately defend your rights and fight to achieve the best possible outcome for your case. Tommy has tried over 100 cases in Texas ranging from Capital Murder to traffic tickets.
