Types of Misdemeanors in Texas
If you've been charged with a misdemeanor in Texas, it's important to understand the potential consequences and your legal options. At Brandon Reese Law Firm, we defend clients facing misdemeanor charges and help them navigate the criminal justice system. Here's what you need to know:
There are three types of misdemeanors in Texas: Class A, Class B, and Class C. The severity of the charge determines the potential penalties.
- Class A Misdemeanors: Punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000. Examples include assault causing bodily injury, driving while intoxicated (DWI), and theft of property valued at $500-$1,500.

- Class C Misdemeanors: Punishable by a fine of up to $500. Examples include disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and minor traffic violations.
