In Texas as elsewhere, there are differences between the criminal, personal, and even social consequences of a felony conviction and a misdemeanor.
Read on to learn why both of them are important enough that you should do all you can—including reaching out to a Fort Worth defense lawyer—to avoid conviction.
A Texas felony conviction is one that is usually punished by a stint in either jail or state prison.
The most serious felonies in the state are capital felonies. These crimes are punishable by the death penalty, or life without parole if the death penalty is not sought by the prosecuting attorney. The most infamous example of a capital crime would be murder.
Other felonies may be either first-, second-, or third-degree or state jail felonies.
Misdemeanors generally refer to crimes of a less serious nature than felonies, and the punishments for a conviction are accordingly less severe. You should not make the mistake of believing that a misdemeanor charge is not to be taken seriously, however.
Misdemeanors include crimes that, generally, do not involve violence or severe property damage.
Some examples include:
Even though misdemeanors are considered lesser crimes, the possible punishments still include incarceration, fines, and other restrictions.
