Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether Texas aggravated assault involving reckless driving, virus transmission, or flashing strobe images constitutes 'the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another?
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. A person is guilty of Texas aggravated assault if his reckless driving causes another person to suffer injury; if he transmits a virus to an unwitting (but otherwise consenting) sexual partner; or if he sends a flashing strobe image over the internet which causes a victim to suffer a seizure. Do these scenarios involve “the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another?” 2. Should this case be remanded to the Fifth Circuit for further consideration in light of the forthcoming decision in Shular v. United States, 139 8. Ct. 2773 (2019)?
