“[Tjhe Legislature, when it enacted Section 22.02 (the assault statute of the Texas Penal Code), a result oriented statute, intended the offense of assault to be complete with the injury of a single individual. The wording of Section 22.02 ... is unambiguous, providing that ‘a person commits an offense if that person commits an assault against another’.... The Double Jeopardy Clause has no application to a multiple victim offense when, as here, it is the legislative intent to prohibit serious bodily injury to persons, and accordingly, to enforce this intent by proscribing the appropriate punishment for each such offense.”
