BATTERY?

I MIGHT BE CHARGED WITH BATTERY. BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS I WALKED UP TO A PICKUP TRUCK IN MY HOME TOWN IN TX.TO TALK TO WHO I BELIEVED AT THE TIME WAS SOMEONE ELSE.WHEN I ARRIVED CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE, I FOUND IT WAS NOT WHO I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS AN ACCUANTANCE OF MINE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I TRIED TO SHAKE HIS HAND AND HE DIDNT SHAKE MINE. RIGHT AFTER THAT HE GRABBED MY SHIRT AND PUSHED ME TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEREFORE I PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE A FEW TIMES.THEN HIS FRIEND CAME UP LIKE HE WAS GOING TO ATTACK ME SO MY FRIEND HIT HIM THEN I HIT HIM.HE WAS ALRIGHT. THE NEXT DAY MY MOM GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE SO BELIEVED VICTIMS SISTER.(SHE WAS ALSO THERE).SHE SAID THAT HER BROTHER, THE ONE THAT GRABBED MY SHIRT AND PUSHED ME,EITHER WENT TO THE HOSPITAL THAT NIGHT OR WAS STILL IN IT AND WAS GONNA PRESS CHARGES. QUESTIONS BIENG,WHOS GUILTY?,CAN I PLEAD SELF DEFFENCE? CAN I COUNTER CHARG ON HIM FOR GRABBING ANG PUSHING ME FIRST?,IF I AM CHARGED WOULD HIM JUST GETTING A BLACK EYE OR A BROKE NOSE BE A FELONY?,AND ALSO THIS GUYS DAD CALLED AND SAID HIS SONS WERE AFTER US. COULD THAT HELP IN MY ADVANTAGE IN ANY WAY? ONE LAST QUESTION. IM 20 YEARS OLD AND THE KID THAT GRABBED ME WAS 15 16 OR 17. HOW DOES THIS EFFECT THE SITUATION.IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED IF SOMEONE COULD CLEAR ALL THIS UP FOR ME. THANKS A MILLION.
