Misdemeanors
If you are faced with a misdemeanor charge, it is a smart idea to work with someone who has a clear understanding of the law and knows how to evaluate your charge properly. A misdemeanor is a crime that is punishable by fines and possibly county jail time. These charges can range from traffic violations, possession of a narcotic, first time DUI/DWI offenders and theft. In the state of Texas, misdemeanor charges are classified into three designations:
- Class C: Punishable by a fine only.
- Class B: Punishable by up to 180 days in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
- Class A: Punishable by up to one year in county jail and/or a $4,000 fine.
Felonies
