In Texas, criminal charges fall into two different categories: misdemeanors and felonies. While both should be taken seriously, misdemeanors are considered the lesser of the two. The punishments for felonies and misdemeanors vary based on the severity of the crime. Both can have serious consequences on your life and future so it’s imperative that you understand the differences in crimes, degrees of offenses and range of punishments. Understanding your criminal charges and securing an experienced attorney at the outset can mean the difference between a charge and a conviction.
