Understanding Felony Charges in Texas

When you’re arrested for a crime in Texas, it will typically fall into two categories: misdemeanor or felony. Misdemeanor offenses are crimes with less severe punishments while felonies, on the other hand, are much more serious crimes that carry more serious penalties.

Depending on the type of offense, a Texas felony can be considered:

• A capital felony, which is punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty.
• A first-degree felony, which is punishable by life imprisonment or five to 99 years of imprisonment, and/or fines of up to $10,000.
• A second-degree felony, which is punishable by 2 to 20 years of imprisonment and/or fines of up to $10,000.
• A third-degree felony, which is punishable by 2 to 10 years of imprisonment and/or fines of up to $10,000.
• A state jail felony, which is punishable by up to 2 years of imprisonment and/or fines of no more than $10,000.
