Repeat family violence offender sentenced to 42 years

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- On June 3, 2026, a Montgomery County jury convicted Aaron Darrell Brown, 40, and delivered a 42-year prison sentence after finding him guilty of Assault Family Violence with a Previous Conviction. Brown’s trial began on June 1, 2026, before Judge Lisa Michalk in the 221st District Court.

On December 24, 2024, officers with the Conroe Police Department responded to a disturbance call at an apartment complex in Conroe. Their investigation revealed that Brown assaulted his significant other during an argument, repeatedly striking her in the face and strangling her. Officers observed visible injuries consistent with the victim’s account. Brown fled the scene before officers arrived.

Less than 24 hours later, the victim again contacted law enforcement after Brown returned to her apartment and attempted to gain entry. Conroe police officers responded, located Brown, and took him into custody.

During the punishment phase of the trial, prosecutors presented evidence of Brown’s extensive criminal history. Because Brown qualified as a habitual offender under Texas law, he faced an enhanced punishment range.

“This sentence sends a clear message that domestic violence and violations of court orders will not be tolerated,” said Assistant District Attorney Mary Garcia. “We are grateful to the jury for its careful consideration of the evidence and to the Conroe Police Department for its diligent work throughout this investigation.”

“Assistant District Attorneys Mary Garcia and Madison Schrock did an exceptional job presenting this complicated case to the jury,” said District Attorney Mike Holley. “Their preparation, professionalism, and commitment to protecting victims helped ensure that a dangerous repeat offender was held accountable.”

Evidence presented during the trial demonstrated not only the violence committed against the victim, but also Brown’s repeated violence in past relationships and assaults on law enforcement officers. The jury ultimately determined a 42-year prison sentence was warranted.
