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 Texas Grizzly 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 B Misdemeanors: Punishable by up to 180 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000. Examples include possession of marijuana (up to two ounces), criminal trespassing, and driving with an invalid license.
• Class C Misdemeanors: Punishable by a fine of up to $500. Examples include disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and minor traffic violations.

Even though misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, they can still have significant consequences that affect your life for years to come. These may include:

• Jail time
• Fines
• Community service
• Probation
• Driver’s license suspension
• A permanent criminal record, making it difficult to find employment or housing in the future
