Texas Penal Code details five felony classifications. Below, you will find details about these felonies and their associated penalties.
State jail felonies are the least severe type of felony charge. Common examples of them include DWI with a child passenger, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and credit card abuse. These crimes are punishable by up to 180 days to two years in jail and fines of up to $10,000.
Common examples of third-degree felonies include possession of certain types and amounts of drugs (such as cocaine) and stalking. Punishments include two to ten years in prison or state jail and fines of up to $10,000.
Second-degree felonies include crimes like aggravated kidnapping and manslaughter. They carry punishments of between two and 20 years in prison or state jail and fines of up to $10,000.
First-degree felonies are the most serious type of felony. Common examples include capital murder, aggravated sexual assault, and human trafficking. A first-degree felony conviction can result in a punishment of between five years to life in prison and fines up to $10,000.
Capital felonies are punishable by life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty. They include capital murder and repeat offenses of certain first-degree felonies.
In short, yes. This is something we often try to accomplish on behalf of our clients.
