If you’re facing a felony charge, you need the right legal representation. Offenses in Texas are designated as felonies and misdemeanors, with felonies being far more serious.

Texas Penal Code classifies felonies the following way:

“Felonies are classified according to the relative seriousness of the offense into five categories:

(1)  capital murder;

(2)  felonies of the first degree;

(3)  felonies of the second degree;

(4)  felonies of the third degree;  and

(5)  state jail felonies.

(b)  An offense designated a felony in this code without specification as to category is a state jail felony.”

Examples of felonies include capital murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated sexual assault, manslaughter, intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault, stalking, evading arrest, theft, possession of a controlled substance, and other crimes.

You need the right representation for your case if you’ve been accused of a felony. The consequences of a felony conviction are severe. You need a qualified lawyer who will build a case for you that can potentially keep you out of prison or have your charges reduced.
